Area Sector of Hyperbola: Arcsinh & Arcosh Explained w/ Example

  • Thread starter morrobay
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the use of inverse hyperbolic functions, specifically arcsinh and arcosh in log form, to compute the area sector of a unit hyperbola. The conversation also mentions the relationship between these functions and the points on the hyperbola. The question at hand is what values of x should be used for arcsinh x and arccosh x to obtain the desired area sector. This can be further explored by referencing a specific source.

Could someone explain with a numerical example showing how the inverse hyperbolic
functions, arcsinh and arcosh in log form ,can compute the area sector of a unit hyperbola
x^2-y^2=1
If possible with a graph, thanks

This picture's worth a thousand area calculations of a sector...

Hello that picture from wikipedia is on the hyperbolic functions, sinhx =e^x-e^-x/2
coshx=e^x+e^-x/2
If you substitute a = area for x in the equations above then you can obtain the points on the hyperbola with the sinh(a) as the y cooridinate and cosh(a) as the x cooridinate.
As the ray in picture, that passes through the point cosh(a),sinh(a), sweeps down you can see how the values of area, sinhx,coshx change.
My question is on the inverse hyperbolic functions , arcsinhx= ln(x+sqrt(x^2+1)
See Wikipedia for definitions. Then from the first two lines of that page ,wiki inv hyp func.
continue to 'area sector of unit hyperbola'
Now this is where my question is: what values of x would be used for arcsinh x and arccosh x
to obtain that area sector

What is an area sector of a hyperbola?

An area sector of a hyperbola is the region enclosed by a hyperbola and two radii extending from the center of the hyperbola to the edge of the hyperbola's arc. It is similar to a sector of a circle, but instead of using angles, the measurement is based on the hyperbolic functions, arcsinh and arcosh.

What is arcsinh?

Arcsinh is the inverse hyperbolic sine function. It is used to calculate the area of a hyperbola sector by finding the product of the hyperbolic sine of the angle and the radius squared. It is represented as arcsinh(x) or sinh^-1(x).

What is arcosh?

Arcosh is the inverse hyperbolic cosine function. It is used to calculate the area of a hyperbola sector by finding the product of the hyperbolic cosine of the angle and the radius squared. It is represented as arcosh(x) or cosh^-1(x).

How do I use arcsinh and arcosh to find the area of a hyperbola sector?

To find the area of a hyperbola sector, you can use the formula A = r^2*arcsinh(sinθ) or A = r^2*arcosh(cosθ), where r is the radius and θ is the angle of the sector. Simply plug in the values for r and θ and solve for A.

Can arcsinh and arcosh be used for any type of hyperbola sector?

Yes, arcsinh and arcosh can be used for any type of hyperbola sector, whether it is a major or minor sector. However, the values of r and θ may differ depending on the type of sector. It is important to use the correct values in the formula to get an accurate result.
