How to Use the IMSECH Function in Excel
Below is a detailed guide on how to use the IMSECH function in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
Basic Syntax
The IMSECH function is used to compute the hyperbolic secant of a complex number.
=IMSECH(inumber)inumber: The complex number for which you want the hyperbolic secant.
Microsoft Excel Example
In Microsoft Excel, assume you have a real number in cell A1 and an imaginary number in cell B1. To compute the hyperbolic secant of the complex number that combines these two values, use the IMSECH function in cell C1 as follows:
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | =IMSECH(COMPLEX(A1, B1)) |
The formula in cell C1 calculates the hyperbolic secant of the complex number created by combining 2 and 3 from cells A1 and B1.
Google Sheets Example
The use in Google Sheets follows a similar pattern. If you have entered the real and imaginary parts in cells A1 and B1 respectively, apply the following formula:
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | =IMSECH(COMPLEX(A1, B1)) |
This will compute the hyperbolic secant of the complex number composed of the real and imaginary parts in A1 and B1.
