| | Hyperbolic function : Hyperbolic tangent |
 | | sinh x = (exp(x) - exp(-x))/2 (hyperbolic sine, pronounced "shine" or "sinch") cosh x = (exp(x) + exp(-x))/2 (hyperbolic cosine, pronounced "cosh") tanh x = sinh(x)/cosh(x) (hyperbolic tangent, pronounced "tanch") coth x = cosh(x)/sinh(x) (byperbolic cotangent, pronounced "coth") sech x = 1/cosh(x) (byperbolic secant, pronounced "sech") csch x = 1/sinh(x) (hyperbolic cosecant, pronounced "cosech") |
 | | Just as the points (cos x, sin x) define a circle, the points (cosh x, sinh x) define a hyperbola because of the formula |
 | | The parameter x can no longer be interpreted as an angle, though, and the hyperbolic functions are not periodic. |
