The IMCOS function returns the cosine of the given complex number. For example, a given complex number “x+yi” returns “cos(x+yi).”

Syntax

IMCOS(number)
PartDescriptionNotes
numberThe complex number for which you want the cosine.This can be either the result of the COMPLEX function, a real number (which will be interpreted as a complex number with imaginary part equal to 0), or a string in the format “x+yi” where x and y are numeric.

Sample formulas

IMCOS(COMPLEX(4, 6))
IMCOS(4)
IMCOS("2+3i")

Notes

The IMCOS function returns an error if the given number isn’t a valid complex number.

Examples

AB

2=IMCOS(COMPLEX(4, 1))
3=IMCOS(3.5)
4=IMCOS(“3+2i”)

COMPLEX: The COMPLEX function creates a complex number, given real and imaginary coefficients.
