Python math.asinh() Method

The math.asinh() is an in-built Python function used to find the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number.

On this page

Python math.asinh() method is an efficient way of calculating the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number, x, in radians.

Syntax of Python math.asinh() Method

math.asinh(x)

Parameters

x Any positive or negative value to be operated on.

Return

The return type of this method is a float value representing the inverse hyperbolic sine of x in radians.

Example Codes: Use the math.asinh() Method in Python

import math

x = 19
value = math.asinh(x)
print(f"The inverse hyperbolic sine of {x} is {value}.")

x = 0
value = math.asinh(x)
print(f"The inverse hyperbolic sine of {x} is {value}.")

x = -345
value = math.asinh(x)
print(f"The inverse hyperbolic sine of {x} is {value}.")

Output:

The inverse hyperbolic sine of 19 is 3.6382779622295387.
The inverse hyperbolic sine of 0 is 0.0.
The inverse hyperbolic sine of -345 is -6.536693697983764.

Note that the arguments can be in integers or floats. The values may be either positive or negative.

Example Codes: Using the Equivalent of the math.asinh() Method

import math

x = 19
value = math.asinh(x)
print(f"The inverse hyperbolic sine of {x} is {value}.")

equation = math.log(x + math.sqrt((x * x) + 1))
print(f"Using the equation, the inverse hyperbolic sine of {x} is {equation}.")

Output:

The inverse hyperbolic sine of 19 is 3.6382779622295387.
Using the equation, the inverse hyperbolic sine of 19 is 3.6382779622295387.

Note that a TypeError exception may occur if the argument value is not a number.
