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.

       The following table describes function behavior in response to exceptional arguments:
