Complex::Acos Method (Complex)

 

Returns the angle that is the arc cosine of the specified complex number.

Namespace:   System.Numerics
Assembly:  System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)

public:
static Complex Acos(
	Complex value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Numerics::Complex

A complex number that represents a cosine.

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics::Complex

The angle, measured in radians, which is the arc cosine of value.

The Acos method for complex numbers corresponds to the Math::Acos method for real numbers.

The Acos method uses the following formula:

(-ImaginaryOne) * Log(value + ImaginaryOne*Sqrt(One - value * value)))

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.
