Mathematic and trigonometric functions:
ABS (number) function
Returns the absolute value of a number, that is, the
same number but with a positive sign
Example: =ABS(-34)
returns 34
RAND () function
Returns a number between 0 and 1.
Example: =RAND()
returns 0,345511245
COMBIN
(number;number_chosen) function
Returns the number of combinations for a given number
of items. Use COMBIN to determine the total possible number of groups
for a given number of items.
Example:We have 20 students
in the class and we want to form couples (of 2..), lets see how many possible
combinations of couples we have, so we write =COMBIN(20;2)
in cell A5, and we receive 190 as a result, that is,
we can make 190 different different combinations of couples.
COS (number) function
Returns the cosine of an angle.
Example: =COS(0)
returns 1
INT
(number) function
Rounds a number down to the nearest integer
Example: =INT(10.45)
returns 10, but if we write =INTEGER(-8.42)
returns -9
EXP (number) function
Returns e raised to the power of a given number
Example: =EXP(1)
returns 2,718281828
FACT
(number) function
Returns the factorial of a number
Example:
=FACT(5) returns 120 --> 1*2*3*4*5.
ROMAN(number,form)
Converts an arabic numeral to roman, as text.
The form parameter can have the following
values.
0 or omitted - Classic
1 - More concise
2 - More concise
3 - More concise
4 - Simplified
TRUE - Classic
FALSE - Simplified
Example: =ROMAN(2049;0)
returns MMXLIX, but if we write =ROMAN(2049;4)
returns MMIL
PI () function
Returns the value of pi, precise to 15 digits
Example:
=PI() returns 3,141592654
POWER (number;power) function
Returns the result of a number raised to a power indicated
Exampl:
=POWER(2;5) returns 32
PRODUCT(number1;number2;...)
Multiplies its arguments
Example:
=PRODUCT(20;4) returns 80
SQRT (number) function
Returns a positive square root
Example:
=SQRT(25) returns 5
RESIDUO??? function(número;núm_divisor)
Returns the rest of the division
Example::
=RESIDUO(26;5) returns 1
