ACOSH DAX Function (Math and Trig)
Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number. The number must be greater than or equal to 1. The inverse hyperbolic cosine is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is number, so ACOSH(COSH(number)) equals number.
Syntax
ACOSH ( <Number> )
| Parameter | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number |
Any real number equal to or greater than 1. |
Return values
Scalar A single decimal value.
Examples
-- SINH, COSH, ASINH, ACOSH, TANH, ATANH, COTH, ACOTH
-- are the standard hyperbolic trigonometrical functions.
--
-- Where required, the arguments are specified in radians.
