The Inverse Hyperbolic
Cosine arccosh(z) . Verify that the
formula
(v)
is correct, we can verify this graphically. But it
is correct only in
quadrants I and IV.
Explore Formula (v) .
First, use Mathematica to determine the formula for
ArcCosh[z]. Start with the
identity
.

And we can verify that
is
the inverse.

We can use Mathematica to verify the formula graphically. (But only for values of z in quadrants I and IV.)

Remark. However, for other
places it might not agree! For Example in Quadrant II and
III. Here we must use the other branch of square
root! We use
