acosl - Linux

Overview

acosl calculates the inverse cosine of a complex number. This function is primarily used in complex analysis and signal processing to find the angle of a complex number in the complex plane.

Syntax

acosl(complex-number)

Options/Flags

acosl does not have any options or flags.

Examples

# Find the inverse cosine of 1 + 2i
acosl(1 + 2i)
# Output: 0.47123889803846896 + 1.5707963267948966i

Common Issues

• NaN Result: If the input complex number has an absolute value greater than 1, the result will be NaN (Not a Number).
• Numerical Instability: For complex numbers close to -1 or 1, the result may be numerically unstable due to the cancellation of terms.

Integration

acosl can be combined with other complex arithmetic functions, such as sinl, cosl, and tanl, to perform complex calculations.
