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:

    “The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “Consciousness, we shall find, is reducible to relations between objects, and objects we shall find to be reducible to relations between different states of consciousness; and neither point of view is more nearly ultimate than the other.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
