ASINH 3M ""
C 6 NAME
asinh, acosh, atanh - inverse hyperbolic functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>double asinh(x) double x;
double acosh(x) double x;
double atanh(x) double x;
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the designated inverse hyperbolic functions for real
arguments.
ERROR (due to Roundoff etc.)
These functions inherit much of their error from log1p described in
exp(3M). On a VAX, acosh is accurate to about 3 \*(ups,
asinh and atanh to about 2 \*(ups.
An \*(up is one Unit in the Last Place carried.
DIAGNOSTICS
Acosh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument is less than 1.
Atanh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument has absolute value bigger than or equal to 1.
