Some of my answers include "і" signs, what should I do to get a regular answer? At first, I thought it was a problem in the cosine equations but later saw the same problem in other formulas. TROPtaKhV_Lb2.sm (357kb) downloaded 11 time(s).

"i" indicates that this is a complex number with an imaginary part. It is completely normal for the cases you have exposed since the square root of a negative number does not make sense in the real field (it is a complex number); in the same way, the arc-cosine makes sense in the real field only for numbers less than or equal to 1

literal 'l' is too confusing, use λ [Greek] imaginary 'i' and ordinary 'i' are not compatible especially in for loop... please check. TROPtaKhV_Lb2 Test back.sm (357kb) downloaded 22 time(s).
