acosh(), acoshf(), acoshl()
Compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine
Synopsis:
#include <math.h> double acosh( double x ); float acoshf( float x ); long double acoshl( long double x );
Arguments:
- x
- The value for which you want to compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine.
Library:
libm
Use the -l m option to qcc to link against this library.
Description:
These functions compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine (specified in radians) of x.
Returns:
The inverse hyperbolic cosine of x (specified in radians). For finite values of x < 1, these functions return NaN. The return value when x is -Inf is NaN.
Examples:
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( void ) { printf( "%f\n", acosh( 1.5 ) ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
produces the output:
0.962424
