sp-acj4-371-real true

Summary

Given

\(x \in \mathbb{R},\quad \operatorname{arcosh}\left(x\right) \in \mathbb{R}\)

Claim

\(\displaystyle \operatorname{surd}\left(\operatorname{arcosh}\left(x\right), 5\right) = \operatorname{arcosh}\left(x\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\)

Expected

true equal at every admissible point

the two sides are equal at every admissible point
