Inverse Trigonometric Functions
These are the usual arc sine, arc cosine and arc tangent functions,
which are the inverses of the sine, cosine and tangent functions
respectively.
| double asin (double x)
|
Function |
|
|
| float asinf (float x)
|
Function |
|
|
| long double asinl (long double x)
|
Function |
These functions compute the arc sine of x--that is, the value whose
sine is x. The value is in units of radians. Mathematically,
there are infinitely many such values; the one actually returned is the
one between -pi/2 and pi/2 (inclusive).
The arc sine function is defined mathematically only
over the domain -1 to 1. If x is outside the
domain, asin signals a domain error.
|
| double acos (double x)
|
Function |
|
|
| float acosf (float x)
|
Function |
|
|
| long double acosl (long double x)
|
Function |
These functions compute the arc cosine of x--that is, the value
whose cosine is x. The value is in units of radians.
Mathematically, there are infinitely many such values; the one actually
returned is the one between 0 and pi (inclusive).
The arc cosine function is defined mathematically only
over the domain -1 to 1. If x is outside the
domain, acos signals a domain error.
|
| double atan (double x)
|
Function |
|
|
| float atanf (float x)
|
Function |
|
|
| long double atanl (long double x)
|
Function |
These functions compute the arc tangent of x--that is, the value
whose tangent is x. The value is in units of radians.
Mathematically, there are infinitely many such values; the one actually
returned is the one between -pi/2 and pi/2 (inclusive).
|
| double atan2 (double y, double x)
|
Function |
|
|
| float atan2f (float y, float x)
|
Function |
|
|
| long double atan2l (long double y, long double x)
|
Function |
This function computes the arc tangent of y/x, but the signs
of both arguments are used to determine the quadrant of the result, and
x is permitted to be zero. The return value is given in radians
and is in the range -pi to pi, inclusive.
If x and y are coordinates of a point in the plane,
atan2 returns the signed angle between the line from the origin
to that point and the x-axis. Thus, atan2 is useful for
converting Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates. (To compute the
radial coordinate, use hypot; see Exponents and Logarithms.)
If both x and y are zero, atan2 returns zero.

ISO C99 defines complex versions of the inverse trig functions.
| complex double casin (complex double z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex float casinf (complex float z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex long double casinl (complex long double z)
|
Function |
|
These functions compute the complex arc sine of z--that is, the
value whose sine is z. The value returned is in radians.
Unlike the real-valued functions, casin is defined for all
values of z.
|
| complex double cacos (complex double z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex float cacosf (complex float z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex long double cacosl (complex long double z)
|
Function |
|
These functions compute the complex arc cosine of z--that is, the
value whose cosine is z. The value returned is in radians.
Unlike the real-valued functions, cacos is defined for all
values of z.
|
| complex double catan (complex double z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex float catanf (complex float z)
|
Function |
|
|
| complex long double catanl (complex long double z)
|
Function |
|
These functions compute the complex arc tangent of z--that is,
the value whose tangent is z. The value is in units of radians.
