acosh(3)

inverse hyperbolic cosine functions

NAME

acosh, acoshf, acoshl – inverse hyperbolic cosine functions

LIBRARY

Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double

acosh(double x);

float

acoshf(float x);

long double

acoshl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

The acosh(), acoshf(), and acoshl() functions compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the real argument x. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

RETURN VALUES

These functions return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x. If the argument is less than 1, acosh() raises an invalid exception and returns an .
