IMSECH functionThe IMSECH function returns the hyperbolic secant of the given complex number.
For example, a given complex number “x+yi” returns “sech(x+yi).”
Parts of an IMSECH function
IMSECH(number)
Part
Description
Notes
number
The complex number for which you want the hyperbolic secant.
This can be either the result of the COMPLEX function, a real number interpreted as a complex number with imaginary parts equal to 0, or a string in the format “x+yi” where x and y are numeric.
Sample formulas
IMSECH(COMPLEX(4,6))
IMSECH(4)
IMSECH(“2+3i”)
Notes
The IMSECH function returns an error if the given number isn’t a valid complex number.
