acosh

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$

Compute the hyperbolic arccosine of a number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-fast-acosh

Usage

var acosh = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-fast-acosh' );

acosh( x )

Computes the hyperbolic arccosine of a number (in radians).

var v = acosh( 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = acosh( 2.0 );
// returns ~1.317

v = acosh( 0.5 );
// returns NaN

The domain of x is restricted to [1,+infinity). If x < 1, the function will return NaN.

var v = acosh( 0.0 );
// returns NaN

Notes

For large x, the function will overflow.

var v = acosh( 1.0e308 );
// returns Infinity
// (expected 709.889355822726)

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var acosh = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-fast-acosh' );

var x = linspace( 1.0, 5.0, 103 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( acosh( x[ i ] ) );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
