The Javascript Math.acosh() function in Javascript is used to return the hyperbolic arc-cosine of a number. Math.acosh (x) = arcosh(x) = y ≧ 0 such that cosh (y)=x acosh() is a static method of Math, therefore it is always used as Math.acosh(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.
Syntax:
Math.acosh(value)
Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter.
- value: Which is the number whose hyperbolic arc-cosine you want to know.
Returns: It returns the hyperbolic arc-cosine of the given number and if the parameter passed is less than 1, it returns NaN.
Example 1: When 1 is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript"> console.log("Output : " + Math.acosh(1)); </script> |
Output:
Output : 0
Example 2: When 0 is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript"> console.log("Output : " + Math.acosh(0)); </script> |
Output:
Output : NaN
Example 3: When a number less than 0 is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript"> console.log("Output : " + Math.acosh(-1)); </script> |
Output:
Output : NaN
Example 4: When 2 is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript"> console.log("Output : " + Math.acosh(2)); </script> |
Output:
Output : 1.3169578969248166
