The cotangent inverse calculator helps determine the angle in radians and degrees from a given cotangent value. Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent (1/tan). The inverse cotangent is also known as arccot or cot⁻¹.
Mathematical Background
The inverse cotangent function returns the angle whose cotangent equals the input value. Mathematically:
\[ \text{arccot}(x) = \text{atan}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \]
Example Calculation
For a cotangent value of 1:
\[ \text{arccot}(1) = \text{atan}(1) = 0.7854 \text{ radians} \approx 45^\circ \]
Common FAQs
-
What is arccot used for?
- It is often used in trigonometry to find angles in right triangles or in mathematical analysis.
-
