IMCOSH function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation
What is IMCOSH function in Excel?
IMCOSH function is one of Engineering functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the hyperbolic cosine of a complex number in x+yi or x+yj text format.
Syntax of IMCOSH function
IMCOSH(inumber)
The IMCOSH function syntax has the following arguments.
- Inumber: A complex number for which you want the hyperbolic cosine.
IMCOSH formula explanation
- Use COMPLEX to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.
- If inumber is a value that is not in the x+yi or x+yj text format, IMCOSH returns the #NUM! error value.
- If inumber is a logical value, IMCOSH returns the #VALUE! error value.
