Hello!
There is no any example for acosh() function. Please put this one below the acosh() function's description.
Thank you!

Example:
<?php
$x
= 1;
$y1 = acosh($x);
echo
"PHP function acosh(). acosh(" . $x . ") = " . $y1 . ".<br/>";
$y2 = log($x + sqrt($x*$x -1));
echo
"By definition of acosh. acosh(" . $x . ") = " . $y2 . ".<br/>";

$x = 10;
$y1 = acosh($x);
echo
"PHP function acosh(). acosh(" . $x . ") = " . $y1 . ".<br/>";
$y2 = log($x + sqrt($x*$x -1));
echo
"By definition of acosh. acosh(" . $x . ") = " . $y2 . ".<br/>";
?>
