NAME vercos - versed trigonometric cosine SYNOPSIS vercos(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return number DESCRIPTION Calculate the versed trigonometric cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is sometimes called verc, is equivalent to: vercos(x) = 1 + cos(x) EXAMPLE ; print vercos(0.2), vercos(3/7), vercos(-31) 1.98006657784124163112 1.90956035167416667403 1.91474235780453127896 ; print vercos(1, 1e-5), vercos(1, 1e-10), vercos(1, 1e-15), vercos(1, 1e-20) 1.5403 1.5403023059 1.54030230586814 1.5403023058681397174 ; print vercos(2 + 3i, 1e-5), vercos(2 + 3i, 1e-10) -3.18963-9.10923i -3.189625691-9.1092278938i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print vercos(pi/3, 1e-10), vercos(pi/2, 1e-10), vercos(pi, 1e-10), vercos(3*pi/2, 1e-10) 1.5 1 0 1 LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qvercos(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) COMPLEX *c_vercos(COMPLEX *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc versin, coversin, vercos, avercos aversin, acoversin, covercos, acovercos epsilon ## Copyright (C) 2023 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
