NAME

asinh, acosh, atanh - inverse hyperbolic functions  

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double asinh(x)
double x;

double acosh(x)
double x;

double atanh(x)
double x;
 

DESCRIPTION

These functions compute the designated inverse hyperbolic functions for real arguments.  

ERROR (due to Roundoff etc.)

These functions inherit much of their error from log1p described in exp(3M). On a VAX, acosh is accurate to about 3 ulps, asinh and atanh to about 2 ulps. An ulp is one Unit in the Last Place carried.  

DIAGNOSTICS

Acosh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument is less than 1.

Atanh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument has absolute value bigger than or equal to 1.
