Sinusoidal Function In MatLab®(Illustrated Expression)

In mathematical calculations, sinusoidal values are frequently used. You can define the sinusoidal values in Matlab®. In this article we will show you;

• What kind of sinusoidal values can be calculated in mathematical relations in Matlab®?
• How to calculate arc values of sinusoidal values in Matlab®?

How To Use Sinusoidal Functions In Matlab®?

>> a = sin(pi/2)
b = cosd(90)
c = atan(0.5)
d = acosd(0.3)

a =

     1


b =

     0


c =

    0.4636


d =

   72.5424

The sinusoidal functions are defined as;

• Directly typing a radian value inside the sinusoidal function as shown above,
• Typing an angle value inside the sinusoidal functions such as; ‘cosd, sind tand etc…’ The ‘d’ at the end of sinuzoidal function defines the degree value that you need to enter inside the sinusoidal function.
• You can calculate the angle or radian value with reverse sinusoidal functions in Matlab®. For example, the variable c as shown above is the reverse sinusoidal calculation of ‘tan’. The ‘a’ at the ‘tan’ means ‘arc’ in another word ‘arctan’ in Matlab®. The result will be shown as radians.
• Also, you can take the result as angle value from reverse sinusoidal function calculations in Matlab® as shown above. You just type ‘d’ at the end of ‘atan’ which is ‘atand’ to calculate as degrees as shown in Matlab®.

>> a = sin(pi/2)
b = cosd(90)
c = atan(0.5)
d = acosd(0.3)
a*b/c

a =

     1


b =

     0


c =

    0.4636


d =

   72.5424


ans =

     0
