asinh

Inverse hyperbolic sine

Syntax

Y = asinh(X)

Description

Y = asinh(X) returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of the elements of X. The function accepts both real and complex inputs. All angles are in radians.

Examples

Inverse Hyperbolic Sine of Vector

Find the inverse hyperbolic sine of the elements of vector X. The asinh function acts on X element-wise.

X = [2 -3 1+2i];
Y = asinh(X)

Y = 1×3 complex

   1.4436 + 0.0000i  -1.8184 + 0.0000i   1.4694 + 1.0634i

Plot the Inverse Hyperbolic Sine Function

Plot the inverse hyperbolic sine function over the interval $$-5\le x\le 5$$.

x = -5:.01:5; 
plot(x,asinh(x))
grid on
xlabel('x')
ylabel('asinh(x)')

Input Arguments

X — Hyperbolic sine of angle

scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array | table | timetable

Hyperbolic sine of angle, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, multidimensional array, table, or timetable. The asinh operation is element-wise when X is nonscalar.

Data Types: single | double | table | timetable
Complex Number Support: Yes

More About

Inverse Hyperbolic Sine

For real values $$x$$ in the domain of all real numbers, the inverse hyperbolic sine satisfies

$${\sinh }^{-1}\left(x\right)=\log \left(x+\sqrt{x^2+1}\right).$$

For complex numbers $$z=x+iy$$, the call asinh(z) returns complex results.

Version History

Introduced before R2006a

R2023a: Perform calculations directly on tables and timetables

The asinh function can calculate on all variables within a table or timetable without indexing to access those variables. All variables must have data types that support the calculation. For more information, see Direct Calculations on Tables and Timetables.
