cacosh - Linux


Overview

cacosh calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a given input. It’s commonly used in mathematics, trigonometry, and statistics to solve equations and perform complex calculations.

Syntax

cacosh(x)

where:

  • x is the input number

Options/Flags

This command does not support any options or flags.

Examples

  • Calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine of 2:
cacosh(2)
1.5430806348152437
  • Solve an equation involving inverse hyperbolic cosine:
cacosh(y) = 3
y = 3.171521871203739

Common Issues

  • Input must be a valid number: The input to cacosh must be a valid numeric value. If not, an error will occur.
  • Output may be complex: If the input is negative, the output will be a complex number.

Integration

cacosh can be integrated with other commands and tools in scripts or command chains, such as:

  • Calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the square root of 2:
