Complex.Cos(Complex) Method

Definition

Returns the cosine of the specified complex number.

C#
public static System.Numerics.Complex Cos(System.Numerics.Complex value);

Parameters

value
Complex

A complex number.

Returns

The cosine of value.

Examples

The following example illustrates the Acos method. It shows that passing the value returned by the Acos method to the Cos method returns the original Complex value.

C#
using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Complex[] values = { new Complex(.5, 2),
                           new Complex(.5, -2),
                           new Complex(-.5, 2),
                           new Complex(-.3, -.8) };
      foreach (Complex value in values)
         Console.WriteLine("Cos(ACos({0})) = {1}", value,
                           Complex.Cos(Complex.Acos(value)));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Cos(ACos((0.5, 2))) = (0.5, 2)
//       Cos(ACos((0.5, -2))) = (0.5, -2)
//       Cos(ACos((-0.5, 2))) = (-0.5, 2)
//       Cos(ACos((-0.3, -0.8))) = (-0.3, -0.8)

Remarks

The Cos method for complex numbers corresponds to the Math.Cos method for real numbers.

The Cos method calculates the cosine of the complex number a + bi as x + yi, where:

  • x is cosa×coshb
  • y is (sina×sinhb)
