#arccos0# means: find the angle that has a cosine of #0#

Explanation:

The #cos#-function crosses the #0# every #180 ^o orpi rad#, beginning at #90 ^o or pi/2 rad#

So #arccos(0)=90^o +-k*180^o#

Or #arccos(0)=pi/2+-k*pi rad#

Usually, you are asked to evaluate a function between certain limits, like #0^o <=x<=360^o# or #0<-x<=2pi#
From the above you can find the values that fit.
