NAME acovercos - inverse coversed trigonometric cosine SYNOPSIS acovercos(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return number DESCRIPTION Calculate the inverse coversed trigonometric cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is sometimes called acvc, or arccovercos, is equivalent to: acovercos(x) = asin(x - 1) EXAMPLE ; print acovercos(0), acovercos(0.5), acovercos(1) 1.57079632679489661923 0.52359877559829887308 0 ; print acovercos(-0.5), acovercos(-1) -1.57079632679489661923+0.96242365011920689498i -1.57079632679489661923+1.31695789692481670863i ; print acovercos(.5, 1e-5), acovercos(.5, 1e-10), acovercos(.5, 1e-15), acovercos(.5, 1e-20) 0.5236 0.5235987756 0.523598775598299 0.52359877559829887308 ; print acovercos(5), acovercos(5i) 1.57079632679489661923-2.06343706889556054673i -0.19379313655493218978+2.33097465304931241744i ; print acovercos(5+5i) 0.66881657532592728975+2.5513216254756988588i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print acovercos(pi/6), acovercos(pi/3), acovercos(4*pi/3) 0.49655704344777825545 -0.04721509173238348552 1.57079632679489661923-1.82724307729474887791i LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qacovercos(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) COMPLEX *c_acovercos(COMPLEX *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc versin, coversin, vercos, covercos aversin, acoversin, avercos haversin, hacoversin, havercos, hacovercos ahaversin, hacoversin, havercos, ahacovercos 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.
