Name
       asinh, acosh, atanh - inverse hyperbolic functions

Syntax
       #include <math.h>

       double asinh(x)
       double x;

       double acosh(x)
       double x;

       double atanh(x)
       double x;

Description
       The and functions compute the designated inverse hyperbolic functions for real arguments.

   Errors Because of Roundoff, Etc.
       These functions inherit much of their error from the function.

Diagnostics
       The function returns the default quiet NaN if the argument is less than one.

       The function returns the default quiet NaN if the argument has an absolute value greater than or equal to one.

Math Library (libm.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double asinh (double x); float asinhf (float x); long double asinhl (long double x); double acosh (double x); float acoshf (float x); long double acoshl (long double x); double atanh (double x); float atanhf (float x); long double atanhl (long double x); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: asinh(): XPG4-UNIX acosh(): XPG4-UNIX atanh(): XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The asinh(), asinhf(), and asinhl() functions return the hyperbolic arc sine of x, in the range [-infinity, +infinity] where asinh(x) = ln(x + sqrt(x**2 + 1)). The asinh() function is the inverse function of sinh() where asinh(sinh(x)) = x. The acosh(), acoshf(), and acoshl() functions return the hyperbolic arc cosine of x, in the range [1, +infinity] where acosh(x) = ln(x + sqrt(x**2 - 1)). The acosh() function is the inverse function of cosh() where acosh(cosh(x)) = |x|. The atanh(), atanhf() and atanhl() functions return the hyperbolic arc tangent of x, in the range (-1, 1). The atanh() function is the inverse function of tanh() where atanh(tanh(x)) = x.
