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:

    “As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
    —Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

    “Think of the many different relations of form and content. E.g., the many pairs of trousers and what’s in them.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
