SINH()
Hyperbolic Sine of the argument
- Syntax
-
- SINH (nArea) -> nHyperbolicSine
- Arguments
-
- <nArea> the size of the area (see below)
- Returns
-
- <nHyperbolicSine> the hyperbolic sine of <nArea>
- Description
-
- The function SINH() calculates the hyperbolic sine of the argument. In analytical mathematics it is defined as 1/2*(exp(nArea)-exp(-nArea)). A common geometric interpretation of the SINH() function is the maximum y value of the points in the area with the given size <nArea>, that is bound by the x axis, a straight line through the point of origin (this one is fixed by the area) and the hyperbola x^2-y^2=1.
Examples
? sinh (0.0) --> 0.0
? sinh (1.0) --> 1.1752...
Tests
sinh (0.0) == 0.0
sinh (-0.5) == -sinh(0.5)
