ACOTH

The ACOTH function returns the hyperbolic arccotangent of a number. It is the inverse function of the hyperbolic cotangent. This function is useful in trigonometry and calculus.

Usage

Use the ACOTH formula with the syntax shown below, it has 1 required parameter:

=ACOTH(value)
Parameters:
  1. value (required):
    The numeric value for which you want to calculate the hyperbolic arccotangent. Must be a non-zero number.

Examples

Here are a few example use cases that explain how to use the ACOTH formula in Google Sheets.

Calculate the hyperbolic arccotangent of a number

Use the ACOTH function to calculate the hyperbolic arccotangent of a given number.

Calculate the area under a hyperbolic cosine function

Use the ACOTH function to calculate the area under a hyperbolic cosine function.

Calculate the derivative of a hyperbolic tangent function

Use the ACOTH function to calculate the derivative of a hyperbolic tangent function.

Common Mistakes

ACOTH not working? Here are some common mistakes people make when using the ACOTH Google Sheets Formula:

Using a value of zero

The input value for ACOTH must not be zero. This will result in a #DIV/0! error.

Providing non-numeric input

The input value for ACOTH must be a numeric value. Providing non-numeric input will result in a #VALUE! error.

The following functions are similar to ACOTH or are often used with it in a formula:

  • ATANH

    The ATANH function returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a value. It is commonly used in mathematical calculations involving hyperbolic functions.

  • ACOS

    The ACOS function returns the arccosine of a value, which is the angle in radians whose cosine is the specified value. The function is often used in trigonometry to find the angle of a right triangle given the adjacent and hypotenuse. The value parameter must be a number between -1 and 1.

  • ASINH

    The ASINH function returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. It is a mathematical function that can be used in a variety of applications such as calculating the surface area of a hyperbolic paraboloid. The result of the function is in radians.
