Hyperbolic Functions

Main Concept

There are a total of six hyperbolic functions: sinhx, coshx, tanhx, cschx, sechx, cothx

Special properties

Hyperbolic Sine

sinh(x)

ex − e−x2

ddxsinhx = coshx

sinh0 = 0 

Hyperbolic Cosine

cosh(x)

ex + e−x2

ddxcoshx = sinhx

cosh0 = 1 

Hyperbolic Tangent

tanh(x)

sinhxcoshx= ex − e−xex + e−x = e2x−1e2x + 1

ddxtanhx = sech2x

tanh0 = 0 

Hyperbolic Cosecant

csch(x)

sinhx−1 = 2ex − e−x

ddxcschx = −cothxcschx

Hyperbolic Secant

sech(x)

coshx−1 = 2ex + e−x

ddxsechx = −sechxtanhx

sech0 = 1 

Hyperbolic Cotangent

coth(x)

coshxsinhx= ex + e−xex − e−x = e2x+1e2x − 1

ddxcothx = −csch2x

cothx2−cothx = cschx
