i know that there is a function to find the logarithm of a number, sin,
cos, tan etc. but are there which can find sin^-1, cos^-1, tan^-1 and
antilog of a given number?

PS: sin^-1 means sin inverse. eg:
if sin 30 =1/2
30=sin inverse of 1/2

HELP!

asin, acos, atan and exp.

thanks man, i understood all functions except exp function.

can you tell me how to use this function to find the antilog of
0.something to base 10, and also how to make it work for different bases

The exp function is just like the pow function but with a constant base,
namely e. If you want "exp" with 10 or other bases, use pow.

(Using non-C notation in this portion)

Log{N}[x] -> ln[x] / ln[N]

so

ln[x] -> Log{N}[x] * ln[N]

so

exp[ln[x]] -> exp[ Log{N}[x] * ln[N] ]

hence

x -> exp[ Log{N}[x] * ln[N] ]

Hence, to find the antilog of something base 10, Y, take
(using C notation)

exp(Y * log(10.))


For example, log10(1000.) = 3., ln(10.) ~= 2.3025851, and
exp( 3. * 2.3025851 ) = exp( 6.9077553 ) ~= 1000.0

Or simply:

pow(10., Y)

Such as arcsin or asin, and exp?

pow(base, x) == exp(x * log(base)) :


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <float.h>
#include <time.h>


int main(void)
{
double x, y;
int i;
double M_log10 = log(10);
srand(time(0));

printf("exp(x) is the antilog(x, base=%.*g)\n\n", DBL_DIG, exp(1));

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
x = rand() / (1. + RAND_MAX);
y = exp(x),
printf("exp(%g) = %g, log(%g) = %g\n", x, y, y, log(y));
y = pow(10, x);
printf("pow(10, %g) = %g, log10(%g) = %g\n", x, y, y, log10(y));
y = exp(x * M_log10);
printf("exp(%g * log(10)) = %g, log10(%g) = %g\n\n",
x, y, y, log10(y));
}
return 0;
}
