Defining sinh(x) and cosh(x) with e and analytic Geometry The standard definition of hyperbolic sine and cosine, written sinh and cosh, are as follows; and . Their graphs look like those in figure 1 and 2. We can make sense of these graphs if we look at the functions end behavior. For example take cosh(x), as x increases the value of increases exponentially and the value of decreases exponentially. When x decreases, the value of decreases and the value of increases. When x=0, the function is 1. The same can be said for sinh(x), as the value of x increases the value of increases. As the value of x decreases, the value of decreases to 0 and the value of increases, but the sign flips the graph over the x-axis. There is also a graphical definition for sinh and cosh just like there is for sin and cos. Remember how sine and cosine can be used to describe a circle? Well sinh and cosh can be used to describe a hyperbola. From now on I will refer to sine and cosine as circular trig functions. In figure 3 you can see how any point on the unit circle can be represented by cosine and sine as a function of time or degree measure. In figure 4 you can see how cosh and sinh are used to describe any point on a unit regular hyperbola, granted this only accounts for the positive half. Note: cosh(x) is always positive in the graph in figure 1. Interesting fact: the area of the hyperbolic sector (in red) is equal to half the measure of the angle. Figure 4  The formulas for hyperbolic trig functions can also be derived from the graph of a hyperbola. Let equal the hyperbolic angle between the x-axis and the point (x, y) on the unit regular hyperbola . Then where A is the area of the hype
