DESCRIPTION

The cacos(), casin(), and catan() functions compute the principal value of the inverse cosine, sine, and tangent of the complex number z, respectively. The cacosh(), casinh(), and catanh() functions compute the principal value of the inverse hyperbolic cosine, sine, and tangent. The cacosf(), casinf(), catanf() cacoshf(), casinhf(), and catanhf() functions perform the same operations in float precision. The cacosl(), casinl(), catanl() cacoshl(), casinhl(), and catanhl() functions perform the same operations in long double precision.

There is no universal convention for defining the principal values of these functions. The following table gives the branch cuts, and the corresponding ranges for the return values, adopted by the C language.

Function	Branch Cut(s)	Range
cacos	(-infinity, -1) ∪ (1, infinity)	[0, pi]
casin	(-infinity, -1) ∪ (1, infinity)	[-pi/2, pi/2]
catan	(-infinity*I, -I) ∪ (I, infinity*I)	[-pi/2, pi/2]
cacosh	(-infinity, 1)	[-pi*I, pi*I]
casinh	(-infinity*I, -I) ∪ (I, infinity*I)	[-pi/2*I, pi/2*I]
catanh	(-infinity, -1) ∪ (1, infinity)	[-pi/2*I, pi/2*I]
