Understanding Hyperbolic Functions

In summary, the conversation discusses the use of hyperbolic functions in relation to the formula for sin(A+B). The formula for sinh(2x+x) is also mentioned, along with confusion about the identities of cosh2x. It is suggested to use either cosh2x+sinh2x or 1+2sinh2x. The confusion is later resolved by realizing that the substitution of 2x was incorrect.

Hyperbolic functions :(((

Homework Equations



Now from what i can recall the formula for sin(A+B) = sinAcosB+sinbcosA
so same goes for hyperbolic function i suppose?
sinh(2x+x) = sinh2xcoshx+cosh2xsinx
(2sinhxcoshx)coshx + (cos^2hx+sinh^2hx)sinx :/ am i on the right track... what confuses me are the identities of cosh2x .

EDIT: WOULD I USE COSH2X= 1+2SINH^2X?
CONFUSED :(
Thanks for your input in advance!

You can use either (cosh2x+sinh2x) or 1 + 2sinh2x :smile:

Hello there! thanks for replying but lol i have just over-confused myself :(

OHHHH I GET IT NOW.. i was subbing an 2x where actually it was just an 'x'.
Thanks for the reply though ;)
 

What are hyperbolic functions?

Hyperbolic functions are a set of mathematical functions that are related to the hyperbola, a geometric shape that is similar to an ellipse. These functions are used to model various phenomena in mathematics and physics.

What are the main hyperbolic functions?

The main hyperbolic functions are sinh, cosh, tanh, sech, csch, and coth. These functions are defined in terms of the exponential function and are closely related to the trigonometric functions.

What is the difference between hyperbolic functions and trigonometric functions?

The main difference between hyperbolic functions and trigonometric functions is the shape of the curve they represent. Trigonometric functions are defined in terms of circles, while hyperbolic functions are defined in terms of hyperbolas.

What are the applications of hyperbolic functions?

Hyperbolic functions have a wide range of applications in mathematics and physics. They are used in areas such as calculus, differential equations, and geometry. They are also used to model various phenomena in physics, such as the motion of particles and waves.

How are hyperbolic functions related to complex numbers?

Hyperbolic functions can be extended to complex numbers, allowing them to be used in complex analysis. The properties of hyperbolic functions in the complex plane are similar to those in the real plane, making them useful for solving complex problems.
