acosh

Inverse hyperbolic cosine

Syntax

Y = acosh(X)

Description

Y = acosh(X) returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine for each element of X.

The acosh function operates element-wise on arrays. The function's domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians.

Examples

Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine

For real values $x$ in the domain $x>1$, the inverse hyperbolic cosine satisfies

${\mathrm{cosh}}^{-1}\left(x\right)=\mathrm{log}\left(x+\sqrt{{x}^{2}-1}\right).$

For complex numbers $z=x+iy$, as well as real values in the domain $-\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\infty , the call acosh(z) returns complex results.
