{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Math.acosh()")}}

```js interactive-example
console.log(Math.acosh(0.999999999999));
// Expected output: NaN

console.log(Math.acosh(1));
// Expected output: 0

console.log(Math.acosh(2));
// Expected output: 1.3169578969248166

console.log(Math.acosh(2.5));
// Expected output: 1.566799236972411
```

## Syntax

```js-nolint
Math.acosh(x)
```

### Parameters

- `x`
  - : A number greater than or equal to 1.

### Return value

The inverse hyperbolic cosine of `x`. If `x` is less than 1, returns {{jsxref("NaN")}}.

## Description

Because `acosh()` is a static method of `Math`, you always use it as `Math.acosh()`, rather than as a method of a `Math` object you created (`Math` is no constructor).

## Examples

### Using Math.acosh()

```js
Math.acosh(0); // NaN
Math.acosh(1); // 0
Math.acosh(2); // 1.3169578969248166
Math.acosh(Infinity); // Infinity
```
