Hyperbolic Function - Useful Relations

Useful Relations

Odd and even functions:

\begin{align} \sinh(-x) &= -\sinh (x) \\ \cosh(-x) &= \cosh (x) \end{align}

Hence:

\begin{align} \tanh(-x) &= -\tanh (x) \\ \coth(-x) &= -\coth (x) \\ \operatorname{sech}(-x) &= \operatorname{sech}(x) \\ \operatorname{csch}(-x) &= -\operatorname{csch}(x) \end{align}

It can be seen that cosh x and sech x are even functions; the others are odd functions.

\begin{align} \operatorname{arsech}(x) &= \operatorname{arcosh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \\ \operatorname{arcsch}(x) &= \operatorname{arsinh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \\ \operatorname{arcoth}(x) &= \operatorname{artanh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \end{align}

Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy the identity

which is similar to the Pythagorean trigonometric identity. One also has

\begin{align} \operatorname{sech} ^{2}(x) &= 1 - \tanh^{2}(x) \\ \coth^{2}(x) &= 1 + \operatorname{csch}^{2}(x) \end{align}

for the other functions.

The hyperbolic tangent is the solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem:

It can be shown that the area under the curve of cosh (x) is always equal to the arc length:

Sums of arguments:

\begin{align} \cosh {(x + y)} &= \sinh{(x)} \cdot \sinh {(y)} + \cosh {(x)} \cdot \cosh {(y)} \\ \sinh {(x + y)} &= \cosh{(x)} \cdot \sinh {(y)} + \sinh {(x)} \cdot \cosh {(y)} \end{align}

Sum and difference of cosh and sinh:

\begin{align} \cosh{(x)} + \sinh{(x)} &= e^x \\ \cosh{(x)} - \sinh{(x)} &= e^{-x} \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the word relations:

    “In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure—the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
