ACOSH Function - Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine Calculator

PRO BASIC

The ACOSH function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is an advanced mathematical tool for calculating inverse hyperbolic cosine values, essential for:

  • Scientific research and data analysis
  • Engineering calculations and modeling
  • Physics simulations and computations
  • Financial modeling with hyperbolic functions
  • Signal processing and analysis
  • Statistical computations
  • Quantum mechanics calculations

This function takes a number greater than or equal to 1 and returns its inverse hyperbolic cosine (area hyperbolic cosine). It's particularly valuable in fields where hyperbolic functions model natural phenomena, such as:

  • Catenary curves in architecture and engineering
  • Relativistic physics calculations
  • Signal analysis in telecommunications
  • Growth models in population dynamics
  • Heat transfer calculations
  • Electrical circuit analysis

Documentation

Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number.

Category

Math and trigonometry

Syntax

ACOSH(x)

Parameter Description
x The value for which to return the inverse hyperbolic cosine. Must be greater than or equal to 1.

Behavior

The ACOSH function handles different input types as follows:

  • Numbers (≥ 1): Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine value Example: ACOSH(1) returns 0 Example: ACOSH(2) returns approximately 1.3169579

  • Numbers (< 1): Returns #NUM! error Example: ACOSH(0.5) returns #NUM!

  • Empty cells: Returns #NUM! error

  • Text values: Returns #VALUE! error Example: ACOSH("text") returns #VALUE!

  • Boolean values:

    • TRUE (interpreted as 1): Returns 0
    • FALSE (interpreted as 0): Returns #NUM! error
  • Error values: Returns the same error value

Common Errors

Error Description
#VALUE! This error is returned when the input value is non-numeric or the cell contains text.
#NUM! This error is returned when the numeric value is less than 1 or the cell is empty.

Best practices

  • Always ensure that the input value for the 'ACOSH' function is a number and it is equal to or greater than 1. If the value is less than 1, the function will return a #NUM! error.
  • Avoid referencing cells that might contain non-numeric values to prevent a #VALUE! error.
  • Use error handling functions like IFERROR or ISNUMBER to handle possible errors and keep your data clean and professional-looking.
  • Always double-check the references in your function to ensure they're pointing to the correct cells.

Usage

Basic examples of the ACOSH function:

ACOSH(1)     returns 0                  // Minimum valid input
ACOSH(2)     returns 1.316957897        // Common use case
ACOSH(10)    returns 2.993222846        // Larger value
ACOSH(1.5)   returns 0.962423650        // Decimal input
ACOSH(100)   returns 5.298292366        // Large value

Common use cases:

  • Scientific calculations involving hyperbolic functions
  • Engineering computations
  • Statistical analysis
  • Financial modeling where hyperbolic functions are needed
