How do I graph trigonometric functions?
I want to graph the cosine function in the same set of axes as another line
chart I created by giving points. However, I do not wnat to have to input a bunch of cosine values; I just want the computer to plot the function. Can I do this with Excel? |

How do I graph trigonometric functions?
Well, you can let the computer calculate the values, then plot that. Put
some angles into one column (the range and spacing is something that might take a couple tries to get just right), then in the next column use formulas to get the trig functions. Plot these two columns. You can use dynamic names to achieve the same effect, but it's more complicated, and harder to fix if there's a problem. But if you really really don't want to waste a couple columns, you can try. The first version I'd ever seen was Stephen Bullen's: http://oaltd.co.uk/DLCount/DLCount.a...e=ChtFrmla.zip Tushar Mehta has extended this to provide more convenient point spacing: http://tushar-mehta.com/excel/softwa...ger/index.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "dkramb" wrote in message ...
