Using mathematical functions

10

x

Exponential (antilogarithm). Also accepts complex
numbers.

10^value

Example

10^3 returns 1000

Common logarithm. Also accepts complex numbers.

LOG(value)

Example

LOG(100) returns 2

,

,

Sine, cosine, tangent. Inputs and outputs depend on the
current angle format (Degrees, Radians, or Grads).

SIN(value)
COS(value)
TAN(value)

Example

TAN(45) returns 1 (Degrees mode).

ASIN

Arc sine: sin

–1

x. Output range is from –90° to 90°, –π/2

to π/2, or –100 to 100 grads. Inputs and outputs depend
on the current angle format. Also accepts complex
numbers.

ASIN(value)

Example

ASIN(1) returns 90 (Degrees mode).

ACOS

Arc cosine: cos

–1

x. Output range is from 0° to 180°, 0 to

π, or 0 to 200 grads. Inputs and outputs depend on the
current angle format. Also accepts complex numbers.
Output will be complex for values outside the normal
COS domain of
