acosh, acoshf, acoshl
Calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine.
double acosh(
double x
);
float acosh(
float x
); // C++ only
long double acosh(
long double x
); // C++ only
float acoshf(
float x
);
long double acoshl(
long double x
);
Parameters
- x
Floating-point value.
Return Value
The acosh functions return the inverse hyberbolic cosine (arc hyperbolic cosine) of x. These functions are valid over the domain x ≥ 1. If x is less than 1, errno is set to EDOM and the result is a quiet NaN. If x is a quiet NaN, indefinite, or infinity, the same value is returned.

Remarks
When you use C++, you can call overloads of acosh that take and return float or long double values. In a C program, acosh always takes and returns double.

Example
// crt_acosh.c
// Compile by using: cl /W4 crt_acosh.c
// This program displays the hyperbolic cosine of pi / 4
// and the arc hyperbolic cosine of the result.
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
double pi = 3.1415926535;
double x, y;
x = cosh( pi / 4 );
y = acosh( x );
printf( "cosh( %f ) = %f\n", pi/4, x );
printf( "acosh( %f ) = %f\n", x, y );
}
cosh( 0.785398 ) = 1.324609 acosh( 1.324609 ) = 0.785398
