ACOSH

Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number.

MathACOSH(value)

The ACOSH function in Google Sheets returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number. It's the go-to tool whenever you need to reverse a hyperbolic cosine calculation in engineering or advanced math work. Dive into our comprehensive guide to master its application.

Parameters

  • value: The number, greater than or equal to 1, for which you want to calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using ACOSH with a number:

    • Example: =ACOSH(5)
    • Result: 2.292431669561178
  2. Using ACOSH with the smallest valid input:

    • Example: =ACOSH(1)
    • Result: 0

Use Cases and Scenarios

  1. Engineering Calculations: Solve equations involving hyperbolic relationships, such as catenary curves in cable and structural design.
  2. Mathematical Modeling: Reverse a hyperbolic cosine transformation applied earlier in a calculation chain.
