SINH(3M)SINH(3M)NAME
sinh, cosh, tanh - hyperbolic functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double sinh(x)
double x;
double cosh(x)
double x;
double tanh(x)
double x;
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the designated hyperbolic functions for real arguments.
ERROR (due to Roundoff etc.)
Below 2.4 ulps; an ulp is one Unit in the Last Place.
DIAGNOSTICS
Sinh and cosh return the reserved operand on a VAX if the correct value would overflow.

DESCRIPTION
The sinh(), sinhf(), and sinhl() functions compute the hyperbolic sine of x. Both sinh(x), sinhf(x), and sinhl(x) are defined as (exp(x) -
exp(-x))/2.
The cosh(), coshf(), and coshl() functions compute the hyperbolic cosine of x. Both cosh(x), coshf(x), and coshl(x) are defined as (e**x
+ e**(-x))/2.
The tanh(), tanhf(), and tanhl() functions compute the hyperbolic tangent of x. Both tanh(x), tanhf(x), and tanhl(x) are defined as (e**x
- e**(-x))/(e**x + e**(-x)).
