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:

    “Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “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)

    “We ought to celebrate this hour by expressions of manly joy. Not thanks, not prayer seem quite the highest or truest name for our communication with the infinite,—but glad and conspiring reception,—reception that becomes giving in its turn, as the receiver is only the All-Giver in part and infancy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
