Syntax

Y = cos(X)

Description

Y= cos(X)returns the cosine for each element ofX. Thecosfunction operates element-wise on arrays. The function accepts both real and complex inputs.

  • For real values ofX,cos(X)returns real values in the interval [-1, 1].

  • For complex values ofX,cos(X)returns complex values.

Cosine Function

The cosine of an angle, α, defined with reference to a right angled triangle is

cos ( α ) = adjacent side hypotenuse = b h .

The cosine of a complex argument, α, is

cos ( α ) = e i α + e − i α 2 .
