ACOSH

Calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine (area hyperbolic cosine) of a value.

Syntax

ACOSH(<value>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Supported input type
`<value>`	The number that the inverse hyperbolic cosine function is applied to. Must be greater than or equal to 1.	`DOUBLE_PRECISION`

Return Type

ACOSH returns a value of type DOUBLE_PRECISION. It is defined for arguments greater than or equal to 1; an argument below 1 raises an out-of-range error.

Example

ACOSH is defined from 1 upwards, and ACOSH(1) is 0:

SELECT ACOSH(1) as result;

result double
0

Rows: 1Execution time: 5.21ms

ACOSH undoes COSH, and COSH(LN(2)) is 1.25, so this returns LN(2):

SELECT ACOSH(1.25) as result;

result double
0.6931471805599453

Rows: 1Execution time: 5.21ms
