The IMTAN function in Google Sheets is a mathematical tool that calculates the inverse tangent of a given number. It can be used to find the angle measure in a right triangle by inputting the opposite and adjacent sides. This function can also be used for various other mathematical calculations involving inverse tangents. To use the IMTAN function, simply enter the formula “=IMTAN(number)” into a cell, where “number” is the value for which you want to find the inverse tangent. This will return the result in radians. Overall, the IMTAN function is a useful tool for performing complex mathematical calculations in Google Sheets.
IMTAN function
The IMTAN function returns the tangent of the given complex number. For example, a given complex number “x+yi” returns “tan(x+yi).”
Parts of an IMTAN formula
IMTAN(number)
| Part | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
number | The complex number for which you want the tangent. | This can be either the result of the COMPLEX function, a real number (which will be interpreted as a complex number with imaginary part equal to 0), or a string in the format “x+yi” where x and y are numeric. |
Sample formulas
IMTAN(COMPLEX(4, 6))
IMTAN(4)
IMTAN("2+3i")
Notes
The IMTAN function returns an error if the given number isn’t a valid complex number or if the tangent function is undefined for the given number.
Examples
| A | B | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =IMTAN(COMPLEX(4, 3)) | 0.00490825806749606+1.00070953606723i |
| 3 | =IMTAN(0.213) | 0.216280749620508 |
| 4 | =IMTAN(“2-2i”) | -0.0283929528682323-1.02383559457047i |
