collapse all in page

Syntax

Y = acsc(X)

Description

Y = acsc(X) returns the Inverse Cosecant (csc-1) of the elements of X in radians. The function accepts both real and complex inputs.

  • For real values of X in the intervals [-∞, -1] and [1, ∞], acsc(X) returns real values in the interval [-π/2, π/2].

  • For real values of X in the interval (-1, 1) and for complex values of X, acsc(X) returns complex values.

Open Live Script

Find the inverse cosecant of the elements of vector x. The acsc function acts on x element-wise.

x = [0.5i 1+3i -2.2+i];
Y = acsc(x)
Y = 1×3 complex

Plot the inverse cosecant function over the intervals -10≤x<-1 and 1<x≤10.

x1 = -10:0.01:-1.01; 
x2 = 1.01:0.01:10;
plot(x1,acsc(x1),'b')
hold on
plot(x2,acsc(x2),'b')
