Summary

The Excel IMCSCH function returns the hyperbolic cosecant of a complex number.

Purpose 

Get hyperbolic cosecant of complex number

Return value 

The hyperbolic cosecant of the complex number.

Syntax

=IMCSCH(complex_num)
  • complex_num - The complex number in the form "x+yi".

How to use 

The Excel IMCSCH function returns the hyperbolic cosecant of a complex number. Given "1+1.5707963267949i" as input, the function returns "-1.72324E-15-0.648054274i" as output.

=IMCSC(COMPLEX(1, PI()/2)) // returns -1.72324E-15-0.648054274i

Explanation

The complex hyperbolic cosecant function is the reciprocal of the complex sine function.

Reciprocal definition of the complex hyperbolic cosecant function.

In Excel, the function's output is equivalent to the following formula.

=IMDIV(1,IMSINH(z)) // equivalent to IMCSCH(z)
