Hyperbolic Functions!


A quick review -- Hyperbolic functions are analogs of trigonometric functions. Cos(x) and sin(x) relate to points corresponding with unit circle, while cosh(x) and sinh(x) relate to points corresponding with the right half of the hyperbola.

Three main functions:












And their graphs:




















































There are certain hyperbolic identities that seem fairly similar to trigonometric identities...











To solve hyperbolic function can be solved my just plugging x into the main functions mentioned earlier. You can also solve hyperbolic integrals using non-hyperbolic integral rules. Check out this example we used on our powerpoint:
