Cotangent of an angle given in radians.

Category: Mathematics > Elementary Math

Syntax

Y = cot(X)

Returns the cotangent of each element of X, in radians.

Description

cot(x) is 1 ./ tan(x), or cos(x) ./ sin(x). It is periodic with period pi and large near multiples of pi, where the sine vanishes. cot(pi/4) is 1.

Input arguments

X: Numeric array of any size. Complex values are allowed.

Output arguments

Y: Array of the same size as X.

Example

Cotangent

cot([pi/4 pi/2 pi/6])

Output

ans = 1×3

    1.0000    0.0000    1.7321
