Math.asinh()

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The Math.asinh() static method returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. That is,

𝙼𝚊𝚝𝚑.𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚑(𝚡)=arsinh(x)=the unique y such that sinh(y)=x=ln(x+x2+1)\begin{aligned}\mathtt{\operatorname{Math.asinh}(x)} &= \operatorname{arsinh}(x) = \text{the unique } y \text{ such that } \sinh(y) = x \\&= \ln\left(x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}\right)\end{aligned}

Try it

Syntax

js
Math.asinh(x)

Parameters

x

A number.

Return value

The inverse hyperbolic sine of x.

Description

Because asinh() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.asinh(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).

Examples

Using Math.asinh()

js
Math.asinh(-Infinity); // -Infinity
Math.asinh(-1); // -0.881373587019543
Math.asinh(-0); // -0
Math.asinh(0); // 0
Math.asinh(1); // 0.881373587019543
Math.asinh(Infinity); // Infinity
