Hyperbolic Functions
Hyperbolic functions are analogs of trigonometric functions, defined in terms of the hyperbola rather than the circle. The main hyperbolic functions are the hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, and hyperbolic tangent. They have applications in various areas of mathematics and physics, particularly in the study of curves and surfaces.

Hyperbolic Functions 5Although we have now explored some of the basic terminology of mathematics and developed the techniques of the differential calculus, we need to pause to extend our algebraic knowledge. In this chapter we shall describe a class of functions known as the Hyperbolic Functions which are very similar in some ways to the circular functions. We shall use the opportunity to consider in detail what is meant by an inverse function.After studying this chapter you should be able to □ Use the Hyperbolic Functions and their identities; □ Solve algebraic equations which involve Hyperbolic Functions; □ Differentiate Hyperbolic Functions; □ Decide when a function has an inverse function; □ Express inverse Hyperbolic Functions in logarithmic form. We shall also consider a practical problem concerning the sag of a chain. 5.1 DEFINITIONS AND IDENTITIESThe Hyperbolic Functions are in some ways very similar to the circular functions. Indeed when we deal with complex numbers (Chapter 10 ) we shall see that there is an algebraic relationship between the two. Initially we shall discuss the Hyperbolic Functions algebraically, but later we shall see that one of them arises in a physical context.The functions cosine and sine are called circular functions because x = cos θ and y = sin θ satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 1, which is the equation of a circle. The functions known as the hyperbolic cosine (cosh) and the hyperbolic sine (sinh) are called Hyperbolic Functions because x = cosh u and y = sinh u satisfy the equation x2 – y2 = 1, which is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola.We shall define the Hyperbolic Functions and use these definitions to sketch their graphs. Here then are the definitions: - William C. Lyons(Author)

Graphs of the trigonometric functions. Trigonometry 33 Hyperbolic Functions The hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, etc. of any number x are functions related to the exponential function e x. Their definitions and properties are very similar to the trigonometric functions and are given in Table 1-5. The inverse Hyperbolic Functions, sinh-~x, etc., are related to the logarithmic functions and are particularly useful in integral calculus.

There are several relationships between polar and rectangular coordinates, diagrammed in Figure 1-30.

radians.At this point, the reader (be they the instructor or an astute student who has been exposed to this material before) should be aware that a very different, both mathematical and philosophical, approach to the development of hyperbolic trigonometry has been selected. In direct contradistinction to the traditional “analysis” prospectus, which defined these terms as the following combination of exponential functions (ex and e−x ):the six important hyperbolic trig functions are viewed as emanating from the relevant “geometry”. In other words, this treatise does not follow the vast majority, if not all of the other, of the calculus books that are (or were) in circulation [14- 21], in that the others have chosen the above set as the definitions for the Hyperbolic Functions.To the contrary, this author regards the above presently championed set of definitions as serendipity, much as a magician drawing rabbits out of a hat. This is especially true since he feels that the salient feature of the hyperbolic trig functions is (AND SHOULD BE) their association with the unit hyperbola, rather than some (admitted true but) secondary relation to the domain of exponential functions. In other words, in the same manner as the coordinating effect of re-defining the circular trig functions using the unit circle (rather than the ratio of sides in a right triangle) proved valuable in extending the domain of trigonometry from its being limited to from 0 to 180 degrees (or alternately from 0 to π radians) to the entire domain of real numbers. A similar further extension of the domain of definition from the set of real numbers to the set of complex numbers is one of the advantages of such a redefinition. In Chapter 7 it will be demonstrated that both methods of definition lead to the same mathematical development. - eBook - ePub

V. G. ShervatovPREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION
IN THIS BOOKLET the hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, and hyperbolic tangent are introduced in connection with the geometric properties of the hyperbola, and the fundamental properties of these functions are derived. Natural logarithms are then discussed.With the aid of complex numbers, basic formulas are derived which interrelate Hyperbolic Functions, trigonometric functions, and the number e . Finally, infinite series expansions of sinh t , cosh t , sin t , cos t , andeaare given.Two years of high school algebra and an acquaintance with trigonometry are sufficient to enable the reader to understand Chapters 1 and 2 . To understand fully the last chapter it is necessary to have some acquaintance with the theory of limits. However, those who do not possess this background will be able to follow much of the discussion.Passage contains an image

1. The Hyperbolic Rotation
1. HOMOTHETIC TRANSFORMATIONSIn solving problems in geometry we often use the following type of transformation. Pick a point O in the plane and a positive number k . If A is any other point, let us transform the point A into the point A ′ such that A ′ lies on the half-line OA and (Fig. 1a, b ). We leave the point O fixed by the transformation. Such a transformation is called a homothetic transformation , O is called the homothetic center (or center of similitude ), and k is called the homothetic ratio (or ratio of similitude ). Obviously, if k < 1, then OA ′ < OA (Fig. 1a), while if k > 1, then OA ′ > OA (Fig. 1b - No longer available |Learn more

For points on the hyperbola below the -axis, the area is considered negative . ________________________ WORLD TECHNOLOGIES ________________________ In mathematics, Hyperbolic Functions are analogs of the ordinary trigonometric, or circular, functions. The inverse Hyperbolic Functions are the area hyperbolic sine arsinh (also called asinh, or sometimes by the misnomer of arcsinh) and so on. Just as the points (cos t , sin t ) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh t , sinh t ) form the right half of the equilateral hyperbola. Hyperbolic Functions occur in the solutions of some important linear differential equations, for example the equation defining a catenary, and Laplace's equation in Cartesian coordinates. The latter is important in many areas of physics, including electromagnetic theory, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and special relativity. The Hyperbolic Functions take real values for a real argument called a hyperbolic angle. In complex analysis, they are simply rational functions of exponentials, and so are meromorphic. Hyperbolic Functions were introduced in the 1760s independently by Vincenzo Riccati and Johann Heinrich Lambert. Riccati used Sc. and Cc. ( [co]sinus circulare ) to refer to circular functions and Sh. and Ch. ( [co]sinus hyperbolico ) to refer to Hyperbolic Functions. Lambert adopted the names but altered the abbreviations to what they are today.

400 Chapter 6 / Exponential, Logarithmic, and Inverse Trigonometric Functions HYPERBOLIC IDENTITIES The Hyperbolic Functions satisfy various identities that are similar to identities for trigono- metric functions. The most fundamental of these is cosh 2 x − sinh 2 x = 1 (1) which can be proved by writing cosh 2 x − sinh 2 x = (cosh x + sinh x)(cosh x − sinh x) = e x + e −x 2 + e x − e −x 2 e x + e −x 2 − e x − e −x 2 = e x · e −x = 1 Other hyperbolic identities can be derived in a similar manner or, alternatively, by per- forming algebraic operations on known identities. For example, if we divide (1) by cosh 2 x, we obtain 1 − tanh 2 x = sech 2 x and if we divide (1) by sinh 2 x, we obtain coth 2 x − 1 = csch 2 x The following theorem summarizes some of the more useful hyperbolic identities. The proofs of those not already obtained are left as exercises. 6.8.2 THEOREM cosh x + sinh x = e x sinh (x + y) = sinh x cosh y + cosh x sinh y cosh x − sinh x = e −x cosh (x + y) = cosh x cosh y + sinh x sinh y cosh 2 x − sinh 2 x = 1 sinh (x − y) = sinh x cosh y − cosh x sinh y 1 − tanh 2 x = sech 2 x cosh (x − y) = cosh x cosh y − sinh x sinh y coth 2 x − 1 = csch 2 x sinh 2x = 2 sinh x cosh x cosh (−x) = cosh x cosh 2x = cosh 2 x + sinh 2 x sinh (−x) = −sinh x cosh 2x = 2 sinh 2 x + 1 = 2 cosh 2 x − 1 WHY THEY ARE CALLED Hyperbolic Functions Recall that the parametric equations x = cos t, y = sin t (0 ≤ t ≤ 2π ) represent the unit circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 (Figure 6.8.3a), as may be seen by writing Figure 6.8.3 x 2 + y 2 = cos 2 t + sin 2 t = 1 If 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π , then the parameter t can be interpreted as the angle in radians from the positive x-axis to the point (cos t, sin t) or, alternatively, as twice the shaded area of the sector in Figure 6.8.3a (verify). - Gautam Bandyopadhyay(Author)

6Exponential, logarithmic and Hyperbolic Functions and an introduction to complex functions
The exponential function ex was introduced in Chapter 3 as an example of a function defined by a limit. Its occurrence throughout mathematics, together with its inverse, the natural logarithmic function ln x , is sufficiently frequent to justify studying ex and ln x separately. In the first part of this chapter the differentiability property of ex is established by means of a definition of the exponential function which is different than but equivalent to the one used in Chapter 3 and makes use of that definition together with a geometrical argument and the idea that a function can be defined in terms of a series involving powers of x. The differentiability properties of the natural logarithmic function are then deduced from those of the exponential function by using the fact that dy/ dx = 1/(dx /dy).The Hyperbolic Functions sinhx , cosh x and tanhx are all defined in terms of the exponential function, so it is natural that they should be introduced and their differentiability properties established immediately after an account of the exponential function. The chapter then considers the exponential function with a complex argument, and shows how by making use of the series representations for the sine and cosine functions it is possible to establish de Moivre’s theorem for any real x. The theorem is then used to show how various trigonometric identities can be deduced in a simple manner. The representation of functions as series involving powers of x , called power series, is taken up again and developed formally in Chapter 12 . Finally a brief introduction to complex functions is given to justify the replacement of x by ix in the series for ex - eBook - PDF

337 Circular and Hyperbolic Functions that can also be obtained from previous results: (1) the formulas for squares of the circular (hyperbolic) cosine and sine coincide [Equations 5.82a and 5.82b ≡ Equations 5.61b and 5.61c (Equations 5.83a and 5.83b ≡ Equations 5.62b and 5.62c)] with the circular (hyperbolic) cosine of double variable; and (2) the latter (Equations 5.61a through 5.61c and 5.62a through 5.62c) and the circular (hyperbolic) sine of double variable [Equation 5.63a (Equation 5.63b)] appear in the cubes of the circular (hyperbolic) cosine [Equation 5.86a (Equation 5.87a)] and sine [Equation 5.86b (Equation 5.87b)]: cos cos cos ( ) cos cos( ) cos co 3 1 2 2 2 1 2 3 2 3 4 z z z z z z = + = + + = s cos ( ) z z + 1 4 3 , (5.86a) sin sin cos( ) sin sin ( ) sin si 3 1 2 2 2 1 2 3 2 3 4 z z z z z z = -= --= n sin ( ), z z -1 4 3 (5.86b) cosh cosh cosh cosh cosh cosh 3 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 z z z z z = ( ) + = + ( ) + z z z 2 3 4 1 4 3 = + ( ) cosh cosh , (5.87a) sinh sinh cosh sinh sinh sin 3 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 z z z z z = ( ) -= -+ ( ) -h sinh sinh z z z 2 3 4 1 4 3 = -+ ( ) , (5.87b) in agreement with Equations 5.86a and 5.86b ≡ Equations 5.84a and 5.84b and Equations 5.87a and 5.87b ≡ Equations 5.86a and 5.86b. Formulas for the product of circular (hyperbolic) cosines and sines [Equations 5.88a through 5.88c (Equations 5.89a through 5.89c)] were used in Equations 5.87a and 5.87b (Equations 5.86a and 5.86b), and are proved next (Subsection 5.6.3). Combining the formulas for addition and subtraction of two variables for the circu-lar and hyperbolic cosine and sine (Subsection 5.3.3) leads to formulas for their products (Subsection 5.5.4). From these, the formulas for the sum and difference of circular and hyper-bolic cosines and sines of two variables (Subsection 5.5.5) follow by two changes of variables.
