Hyperbolic Functions
-> This tells the mathematical functions similar to trigonometric functions but based on hyperbolas than circles.
Formulas of Hyperbolic Functions |
1. Hyperbolic Sine Rule
-> The property represents the difference between the exponential growth and decay, divided by 2.
Formula:

2. Hyperbolic Cosine Rule
-> The property represents the average of exponential growth and decay, divided by 2
Formula:
3. Hyperbolic Tangent Rule
-> The property represents the ratio of hyperbolic sine and cosine function.
Formula:

4. Hyperbolic Cotangent Rule
-> The property represents the reciprocal of the hyperbolic tangent function.
Formula:
