Complex.Cos Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns the cosine of the specified complex number.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function Cos ( _
value As Complex _
) As Complex
public static Complex Cos(
Complex value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Numerics.Complex
A complex number.
Return Value
Type: System.Numerics.Complex
The cosine of value.
Remarks
The Cos method for complex numbers corresponds to the Math.Cos method for real numbers.
The Cos method uses the following formula to calculate the cosine of the complex number a + bi:
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.
Imports System.Numerics
Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim values() As Complex = { New Complex(.5, 2),
New Complex(.5, -2),
New Complex(-.5, 2),
New Complex(-.3, -.8) }
For Each value As Complex In values
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Cos(ACos({0})) = {1}", value,
Complex.Cos(Complex.Acos(value))) & vbCrLf
Next
End Sub
End Module
' 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)

{
Complex[] values = { new Complex(.5, 2),

foreach (Complex value in values)
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Cos(ACos({0})) = {1}", value,
Complex.Cos(Complex.Acos(value))) + "\n";

// 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)
