Syntax 🔗

=ACOT(number)

number The numeric value for which to calculate the arccotangent.

About ACOT 🔗

Use the ACOT function in Excel to find the arccotangent, or inverse cotangent, of a number. This function helps you determine the angle related to a specific cotangent value, useful in trigonometric and wave analysis. It's a practical tool for angle calculations in various mathematical and analytical tasks, such as analyzing waveforms or solving geometric problems.

Examples 🔗

To calculate the arccotangent of 2, use the formula: =ACOT(2)

For wave analysis requiring phase shift determination based on a specific cotangent value, use the ACOT function to find the corresponding angle for accurate assessment.

Notes 🔗

The ACOT function returns the result in radians. To convert the result to degrees, use the DEGREES function in combination with the ACOT function.
