SIN function
Purpose |
Return the sine of its argument. |
Syntax |
y = SIN(numeric_expression) |
Remarks |
numeric_expression is an angle specified in radians. SIN returns an Extended-precision value between -1 and +1. To convert radians to degrees, multiply by 57.29577951308232##. To convert degrees to radians, multiply by 0.0174532925199433##. For more information on radians, see the ATN function. The Inverse Sine (ARCSIN) of a value can be calculated as follows: ArcSin = ATN(Value / SQR(1 - Value * Value)) The Hyperbolic Sine (SINH) of a value can also be calculated: SinH = (EXP(Value) - EXP(-Value)) / 2 The Inverse Hyperbolic Sine (ARCSINH) of a value can also be calculated: ArcSinH = LOG(Value + SQR(Value * Value + 1))
