Real–Number Functions 4-5
Example:
Show that cosine (5/7)π radians and cosine 128.57° are equal (to four significant
digits).
Programming Note:
Equations using inverse trigonometric functions to determine an angle θ, often look
something like this:
θ
= arctan (y/x).
If x = 0, then y
/
x is undefined, resulting in the error: .
