Function name:
ACOT
Category:
Mathematical
Summary:
Returns the inverse cotangent (the arccotangent) of a number. This function calculates the principal value.
Syntax:
ACOT(Number)
Returns:
This function returns the inverse trigonometric cotangent of Number, that is the angle (in radians) whose cotangent is Number. The angle returned is between 0 and PI, i.e. [0, π].
Arguments:
Number is the real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, whose inverse trigonometric cotangent value is to be calculated.
Additional details:
- To return the angle in degrees, use the DEGREES function.
- Alternatively multiply by 180/PI() to convert the result from radians to degrees.
The figure below illustrates the function ACOT.
Examples:
Formula | Description | Returns |
---|---|---|
=ACOT(1) | Inverse trigonometric cotangent of 1 | 0.785398163397448 (PI/4 radians or π/4) |
=DEGREES(ACOT(0.5)) | Inverse trigonometric cotangent of 0.5. Further, converting angle in radians to degrees. | 45° (degrees) |
=ACOT(0.5) | Inverse trigonometric cotangent of 0.5 | 1.10714871779409 (radians) |
=ACOT(0.5)*180/PI() | Inverse trigonometric cosine of 0.5. Further, converting angle in radians to degrees by multiplying by 180/PI(). | 45° (degrees) |
