acosh

Inverse hyperbolic cosine of each element, with the result in radians.

Category: Mathematics > Elementary Math

Syntax

Y = acosh(X)

Returns the result for each element of X.

Description

acosh works element by element. For real input X >= 1 the result is real and non-negative. For X < 1 the result is complex. It satisfies acosh(x) = log(x + sqrt(x^2 - 1)).

Input arguments

X
Numeric array of any size. Complex values are allowed.

Output arguments

Y
Array of the same size as X, in radians.

Example

Inverse hyperbolic cosine

acosh([1 2 10])
acosh(0.5)
Output
ans = 1×3

         0    1.3170    2.9932
ans = 0.0000 + 1.0472i
