2 acosh - inverse hyperbolic cosine
9 eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
11 return nonnegative real
14 Returns the acosh of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
15 absolute value than .75 * eps.
17 acosh(x) is the nonnegative real number v for which cosh(v) = x.
20 acosh(x) = ln(x + sqrt(x^2 - 1))
23 ; print acosh(2, 1e-5), acosh(2, 1e-10), acosh(2, 1e-15), acosh(2, 1e-20)
