Syntax

math.asinh(x)

Parameter

This function requires a positive or negative number as a parameter.

Return value

asinh(x) returns a float value that is the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number sent as a parameter.

Example

import math
#Parameter as a positive number
print ("The value of asinh(5) is:", math.asinh(5))
#Parameter as a negative number
print ("The value of asinh(-7) is:", math.asinh(-7))
