DCOS(x)
- where x is the angle in Degree
- by default Calci use Radian as angle
COS can be used if the angle is in Radians.
Description
- This function is used to obtain the COS value of 'x' in Degrees.
- It is the reciprocal of SEC function i.e, COS(x) = 1 / SEC(x).
- In a right angled triangle COS(x) = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse.
- To obtain the value in Radians multiply with PI()/180 or use COS function COS(x)
- DSEC returns NaN if 'x' is not real
The angle can be a single value or any complex array of values.
The following example shows how DSEC is applied to an array of numbers containing numbers 1..10.
- Type =1..10@DCOS in Calci
- Type =1..10@DCOS or 1..10@DCOS in ZOS

Examples
DCOS(x)
- x is the angle in radians.
- COS(-x)=COS(x)
- Result shows DCOS(abc)= NAN
