It depends... Do you know if your HP has a built-in acosh function? If not, use acosh(x)=ln(x+sqrt(x^2-1)).
If it does, or if you're not sure, let us know what model you have and I'm sure someone can help you out. (In case you have an HP-42S, the ACOSH function is not in any menu (other than the FCN catalog); I recommend to use ASSIGN to assign it to a CUSTOM menu key if you have to use it frequently.)
