# Methods

## abs
Return the absolute value of a number.

### Parameters
- x: A number

### Returns
The absolute value of `x`. If `x` is negative (including -0), returns `-x`. Otherwise, returns `x`. The result is therefore always a positive number or 0.

```js
math.abs(-5); // 5
```

- x: A number between -1 and 1, inclusive, representing the angle's cosine value

### Returns
The inverse cosine (angle in radians between 0 and π, inclusive) of `x`. If `x` is less than -1 or greater than 1, returns `NaN`.

### Example
```js
math.acos(-1); // 3.141592653589793
```

## acosh
Return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number.
