NAME
acosh - inverse hyperbolic cosine
SYNOPSIS
acosh(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real, x >= 1
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return nonnegative real
DESCRIPTION
Returns the cosh of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
acosh(x) = ln(x + sqrt(x^2 - 1)) is the nonnegative real number v
for which cosh(v) = x.
EXAMPLE
> print acosh(2, 1e-5), acosh(2, 1e-10), acosh(2, 1e-15), acosh(2, 1e-20)
1.31696 1.3169578969 1.316957896924817 1.31695789692481670862
LIMITS
unlike sin and cos, x must be real
eps > 0
LIBRARY
NUMBER *qacosh(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps)
