Using common functions in formula expressions

In transforms and metrics, you can use the following functions to calculate common mathematical functions in transforms and metrics.

Function	Description
`abs(x)`	Returns the absolute value of `x`.
`acos(x)`	Returns the arccosine of `x`.
`asin(x)`	Returns the arcsine of `x`.
`atan(x)`	Returns the arctangent of `x`.
`cbrt(x)`	Returns the cubic root of `x`.
`ceil(x)`	Returns the nearest integer greater than `x`.
`cos(x)`	Returns the cosine of `x`.
`cosh(x)`	Returns the hyperbolic cosine of `x`.
`cot(x)`	Returns the cotangent of `x`.
`exp(x)`	Returns `e` to the power of `x`.
`expm1(x)`	Returns `exp(x) - 1`. Use this function to more accurately calculate `exp(x) - 1` for small values of `x`.
`floor(x)`	Returns the nearest integer less than `x`.
`log(x)`	Returns the `log_e` (base `e`) of `x`.
`log10(x)`	Returns the `log₁₀` (base `10`) of `x`.
`log1p(x)`	Returns `log(1 + x)`. Use this function to more accurately calculate `log(1 + x)` for small values of `x`.
`log2(x)`	Returns the `log₂` (base `2`) of `x`.
`pow(x, y)`	Returns `x` to the power of `y`. This is equivalent to `x ^ y`.
`signum(x)`	Returns the sign of `x` (`-1` for negative inputs, `0` for zero inputs, `+1` for positive inputs).
`sin(x)`	Returns the sine of `x`.
`sinh(x)`	Returns the hyperbolic sine of `x`.
`sqrt(x)`	Returns the square root of `x`.
`tan(x)`	Returns the tangent of `x`.
`tanh(x)`	Returns the hyperbolic tangent of `x`.
