Program 1:(sqrt, pow, and exp)

Run 
#include<stdio.h> 
#include<math.h>
int main ()
{
  double y = 16.0;
  printf ("square root of %.1f is %.4f. \n", y, sqrt (y));
  printf ("exp of %.1f is %.4f. \n", y, exp (y));
  printf ("squared value of %.1f is %.4f. \n", y, pow (y, 2));
  return 0;
}

Output:

square root of 16.0 is 4.0000. 
exp of 16.0 is 8886110.5205. 
squared value of 16.0 is 256.0000.

Program 2:(cos, acos and tanh)

Run 
#include<stdioh.> 
#include<math.h>
int main ()
{
  double y = 16.0;
  printf ("hyperbolic tangent of %.1f is %.4f. \n", y, tanh (y));
  printf ("cosine of π is %.4f. \n", cos (M_PI));
  printf ("arc cosine of cos(π) is %.4f. \n", acos (cos (M_PI)));

  return 0;
}

Output:

hyperbolic tangent of 16.0 is 1.0000. 
cosine of π is -1.0000. 
arc cosine of cos(π) is 3.1416.

Program 3:(ceil, floor, and fabs)

Run 
#include<stdio.h> 
#include<conio.h>
int main ()
{
  double y = -9.5;
  printf ("ceil value of %.1f is %.1f. \n", y, ceil (y));
  printf ("floor value of %.1f is %.1f. \n", y, floor (y));
  printf ("absolute value of %.1f is %.1f. \n", y, fabs (y));
  return 0;
}

Output:

ceil value of -9.5 is -9.0. 
floor value of -9.5 is -10.0. 
absolute value of -9.5 is 9.5.
