sinh(): Hyperbolic Sine

sinh() calculates the hyperbolic sine, defined from exponentials rather than circular angles. It appears in catenary curves, differential equations, and hyperbolic geometry.

Exponential relation

sinh(x) = (exp(x) − exp(−x))/2, connecting it to exp(). It accepts all real values and is odd: sinh(-x) equals -sinh(x). Reverse it with asinh().

Do not confuse sinh with sin(). For large magnitudes, exponential growth can overflow; use a scaled formulation or log()-space reasoning where appropriate.

Start with one of the editable examples above, then replace its arguments with your own values. Keeping the function on a separate calculator line makes the input and result easy to compare. For a longer workflow, assign the result to a variable or reference that line in the next expression.

Check the shown signature before adding optional arguments, and use the related-function links to compare operations with similar purposes.
