How to Graph Hyperbolic Functions (sinh, cosh)

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

sinh(x) is an odd function crossing the origin with steep exponential-like wings, while cosh(x) is an even function with a minimum at x=0. For example, cosh(0)=1 is the minimal value. They each share domain (–∞,∞), but distinct growth patterns. Graphing them clarifies behavior for advanced forms like y=a cosh(bx). Real-world parallels include catenary arches or temperature distribution curves. Familiarity with hyperbolic graphs expands your skill set to handle advanced math contexts beyond classical trig, bridging real phenomena in engineering and theoretical physics.
