Hyperbolic Function - Standard Algebraic Expressions

Standard Algebraic Expressions

(b) sinh(x) is half the difference of ex and e−x Hyperbolic functions (a) cosh and (b) sinh obtained using exponential functions and

The hyperbolic functions are:

  • Hyperbolic sine:
  • Hyperbolic cosine:
  • Hyperbolic tangent:
  • Hyperbolic cotangent:
  • Hyperbolic secant:
  • Hyperbolic cosecant:

Hyperbolic functions can be introduced via imaginary circular angles:

  • Hyperbolic sine:
  • Hyperbolic cosine:
  • Hyperbolic tangent:
  • Hyperbolic cotangent:
  • Hyperbolic secant:
  • Hyperbolic cosecant:

where i is the imaginary unit defined by i2 = −1.

The complex forms in the definitions above derive from Euler's formula.

Note that, by convention, sinh2 x means (sinh x)2, not sinh(sinh x), and similarly for the other hyperbolic functions when used with positive exponents. In contrast, sinh−1 x refers to the inverse function arsinh x and not to a reciprocal (and again likewise for the other hyperbolic functions).

Famous quotes containing the words standard, algebraic and/or expressions:

    “Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
    —Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

    “I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Let it be signified to me through any channel ... that the possession of the Floridas would be desirable to the United States, and in sixty days it will be accomplished.
    ...penned in the language of truth, and divested of those expressions of servility which would persuade his majesty that we are asking favors and not rights.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
