COT

Returns the cotangent of the given angle (in radians).

Syntax:

COT(angle)

returns the (trigonometric) cotangent of angle, the angle in radians.

To return the cotangent of an angle in degrees, use the RADIANS function.

The cotangent of an angle is equivalent to 1 divided by the tangent of that angle.

Example:

COT(PI()/4)

returns 1, the cotangent of PI/4 radians.

COT(RADIANS(45))

returns 1, the cotangent of 45 degrees.
