hyperbolic function

Mathematics
  • Any of the functions hyperbolic sine (sinh), hyperbolic cosine (cosh), and hyperbolic tangent (tanh), and their reciprocals cosech, sech, and coth, defined as follows:

    coshx=12(ex+ex),sinhx=12(exex),tanhx=sinhxcoshx,cothx=coshxsinhx(x0),sechx=1coshx,cosechx=1sinhx(x0).

    The functions derive their name from the possibility of using x = acosht, y = bsinht (tϵ‎ℝ) as parametric equations for (one branch of) a hyperbola. (The pronunciation of these functions causes difficulty. For instance, tanh may be pronounced as ‘tansh’ or ‘than’ (with the ‘th’ as in ‘thing’); and sinh may be pronounced as ‘shine’ or ‘sinch’. Many of the formulae satisfied by the hyperbolic functions are similar to corresponding formulae for the trigonometric functions, but some changes of sign must be noted (see Osborne’s rule). For example:

    cosh2x=1+sinh2x,sech2x=1tanh2x,sinh(x+y)=sinhxcoshy+coshxsinhy,cosh(x+y)=coshxcoshy+sinhxsinhy,sinh2x=2sinhxcoshx,cosh2x=cosh2x+sinh2x.

    Since cosh(−x)=coshx and sinh(−x)= −sinhx, cosh is an even function and sinh is an odd function. The graphs of cosh x and sinh x are shown below.

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic cosine

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic sine

    The graphs of the other hyperbolic functions are:

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic tangent

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic cotangent

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic secant

    hyperbolic function

    Graph of hyperbolic cosecant

    The following derivatives are readily established:

    ddx(coshx)=sinhx,ddx(sinhx)=coshx,ddx(tanhx)=sech2x.

    See also inverse hyperbolic function.
