Validity of sinh(x^2): Explained

  • Thread starter JamesGoh

In summary, the validity of the statement "sinh{x^2}=\frac{e^{x^2}-e^{x^2}}{2}" can be confirmed by substituting z = x^2 into the correct statement for sinh(z), which is sinh(z) = (e^z - e^-z)/2. This results in the equation sinh x^2 = (e^{x^2} - e^-{x^2})/2, which is the same as the given statement.

Is the following statement valid?

[itex]sinh{x^2}=\frac{e^{x^2}-e^{x^2}}{2}[/itex]

Reason I ask cause I know that [itex]sinh{x}=\frac{e^{x}-e^{x}}{2}[/itex], so i assume the same rules can apply

If by chance you meant [itex]sinh(x^{2}) = \frac{e^{x^2} - e^{-x^2}}{2}[/itex], then yes, that is the case.

Simply asking because you forgot to include that negative sign in the second exponent.

1. What is the validity of sinh(x^2)?

The validity of sinh(x^2) is dependent on the inputs and context of the problem. In general, sinh(x^2) is a valid function that can be used to model various physical and mathematical phenomena.

2. How is sinh(x^2) derived?

Sinh(x^2) is derived from the hyperbolic sine function, sinh(x), by substituting x^2 for x. This allows for the function to model more complex and varied phenomena.

3. What are the key features of sinh(x^2)?

Sinh(x^2) has a shape similar to that of a parabola, with its vertex at (0,0). It is an odd function, meaning that it is symmetric about the origin. It also has an asymptote at y=0 and increases rapidly as x increases.

4. How is sinh(x^2) used in real-world applications?

Sinh(x^2) is commonly used in physics and engineering to model various phenomena, such as the displacement of a vibrating string or the diffusion of heat in a rod. It can also be used in statistics and probability to model the distribution of data.

5. Are there any limitations to using sinh(x^2)?

As with any mathematical function, there are limitations to using sinh(x^2). It may not accurately model all types of data or phenomena, and it is important to consider the context and assumptions of the problem before using this function.
