    The document defines and discusses hyperbolic functions, which are analogous to trigonometric functions but relate to hyperbolas instead of circles. It defines the hyperbolic sine, cosine, and tangent functions and gives their formulas and graphs. Applications of hyperbolic functions include modeling the shape of a hanging cable chain and the velocity of ocean waves. The document also covers inverse hyperbolic functions and lists some common hyperbolic identities.

    INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    Certain combinations of the exponential functions ex and e-x arise so frequently in mathematics and its applications that they deserve to be given special names.

    INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    In many ways, they are analogous to the trigonometric functions, and they have the same relationship to the hyperbola that the trigonometric functions have to the circle.
    For this reason, they are collectively called hyperbolic functions and individually called hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, and so on.

    Hyperbolic Functions

    DEFINITION

    HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS

    sinh x = cosh x = tanh x =

    e x e x 2 e x + e x 2 sinh x cosh x

    csc h x = sec h x = coth x =

    1 sinh x 1 cosh x cosh x sinh x

    The graphs of hyperbolic sine and cosine can be sketched using graphical addition, as in these figures.

    HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS

    Note that sinh has domain R and range R, whereas cosh has domain R and range [1, ) .

    The graph of tanh is shown.


    It has the horizontal asymptotes y = 1.

    APPLICATIONS

    APPLICATIONS

    The most famous application is the use of hyperbolic cosine to describe the shape of a hanging wire.

    It can be proved that, if a heavy flexible cable is suspended between two points at the same height, it takes the shape of a curve with equation y = c + a cosh(x/a) called a catenary.
    The Latin word catena means chain.

    APPLICATIONS

    HYPERBOLIC IDENTITIES

    Another application occurs in the description of ocean waves.


    The velocity of a water wave with length L moving across a body of water with depth d is modeled by the function gL 2 d

    The hyperbolic functions satisfy a number of identities that are similar to well-known trigonometric identities.

    v=

    tanh L

    where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

    HYPERBOLIC IDENTITIES

    INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    We list some identities here.

    sinh( x) = sinh x cosh( x) = cosh x cosh 2 x sinh 2 x = 1 1 tanh 2 x = sech 2 x sinh( x + y ) = sinh x cosh y + cosh x sinh y cosh( x + y ) = cosh x cosh y + sinh x sinh y

    This figure shows that cosh is not one-to-one. However, when restricted to the domain [0, ], it becomes one-to-one.

    INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    Definition 2

    The inverse hyperbolic cosine function is defined as the inverse of this restricted function.

    y = sinh 1 x y = cosh x y = tanh x


    1 1

    sinh y = x cosh y = x and y 0 tanh y = x

    The remaining inverse hyperbolic functions are defined similarly.
