COT
Returns the cotangent of the given angle (in radians).
Syntax:
COT(angle)
- returns the (trigonometric) cotangent of angle, the angle in radians.
- To return the cotangent of an angle in degrees, use the RADIANS function.
- The cotangent of an angle is equivalent to 1 divided by the tangent of that angle.
Example:
COT(PI()/4)
- returns 1, the cotangent of PI/4 radians.
COT(RADIANS(45))
- returns 1, the cotangent of 45 degrees.
