[SELECT]

Syntax​

SELECT ACOSH(value) FROM <multipartIdentifier>;

Arguments​

value
A numeric expression greater than or equal to 1, for which the hyperbolic arc cosine is to be calculated.

Return Value(s)​

Returns the hyperbolic arc cosine of the specified value in radians.

Examples​

Calculate the hyperbolic arc cosine of 1​

SELECT ACOSH(1) AS hyperbolic_arc_cosine_value;

This query returns 0, as the hyperbolic arc cosine of 1 is 0 radians.

Calculate the hyperbolic arc cosine of 10​

SELECT ACOSH(10) AS hyperbolic_arc_cosine_value;

This query calculates the hyperbolic arc cosine of 10, resulting in approximately 2.9932, as this is the value in radians whose hyperbolic cosine is 10.
