JavaScript Math acosh() Method

Javascript Math.acosh() method is used to get the hyperbolic arc-cosine of a number. The hyperbolic arc-cosine is known by many names such as hyperbolic inverse cosine and acosh. It is the inverse of the hyperbolic cosine method i.e., The inverse hyperbolic cosine of any value say x is the value y for which the hyperbolic cosine of y is x.

if y = acosh(x) then x = cosh(y) For all x≥1, we have acosh(x)=ln(x+√ x2-1 )

Syntax:

Math.acosh(x)

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter:

• x: Here x is a number whose hyperbolic arc-sine is going to be calculated.

Example: Below is an example of the Math acosh( ) Method.

// Here different values is being used for
// getting hyperbolic cosine method's values.
console.log(Math.acosh(2));
console.log(Math.acosh(1));
console.log(Math.acosh(3));
console.log(Math.acosh(10));

0
1.7627471740390859
2.993222846126381

Example: Here output 0 is the hyperbolic arc-cosine of numbers.

// Here different values is being used for
// getting hyperbolic cosine method's values.
console.log(Math.acosh(5));
console.log(Math.acosh(11));
console.log(Math.acosh(1.5));
console.log(Math.acosh(0));
