Engineering - IMARGUMENT Function



Description

The IMARGUMENT function returns the argument $\theta$(theta), an angle expressed in radians, such that −

$$x+yi=\left | x+yi \right |e^{i\theta }=\left | x+yi \right |(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)$$

Syntax

IMARGUMENT (inumber)

Arguments

Argument Description Required/ Optional
Inumber A complex number for which you want the argument $\theta$. Required

Notes

  • Use COMPLEX to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number

  • IMARGUMENT is calculated as follows −

    $$IMARGUMENT(z)=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{y}{x} \right )=\theta$$

    Where

    $$\theta\epsilon (-\pi;\pi], and \: z= x+yi$$

Applicability

Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
