Consider the following two functions:

e x  e x e x  e x
y y
2 2
These functions show up frequently enough that they
have been given names.

Hyperbolic Sine: sinh  x  
2
e x  e x e x  e x
y y
2 2 (pronounced “shine x”)

e x  e x
The behavior of these functions shows such remarkable Hyperbolic Cosine: cosh  x  
parallels to trig functions, that they have been given 2
similar names.

“tansh (x)”
we will have “trig-like” identities.

OTHER IDENTITIES
Note that this is similar to but not the same as:

sin 2 x  cos 2 x  1
