The Math / Science

The Arc Hyperbolic Cotangent function, denoted as arcoth(x), is a mathematical function defined for all real numbers x. It is one of the inverse of a hyperbolic trigonometric function.

The hyperbolic arc cotangent function is defined as:

`arcoth(x) = 1/2 ln( (x+1)/(x-1))` For: `-infty < x < -1 " or " 1 < x < infty`

Hyperbolic Functions:

• sinh: Hyperbolic Sine
  • `sinh(x) = (e^x - e^(-x))/2`
• cosh: Hyperbolic cosine
  • `cosh(x) = (e^x + e^(-x))/2`
• tanh: Hyperbolic tangent
  • `tanh(x) = (sinh(x))/(cosh(x)) = ((e^x - e^(-x))) / ((e^x + e^(-x)))`
• coth: Hyperbolic cotangent
  • `coth(x) = 1 / (tanh(x)) = ((e^x + e^(-x))) / ((e^x - e^(-x)))`
• csch: Hyperbolic cosecant
  • `csch(x) = 1 / (sinh(x)) = 2/(e^x - e^(-x))`

The Science

Hyperbolic trigonometric functions are a family of mathematical functions closely related to ordinary trigonometric functions. While ordinary trigonometric functions (like sine, cosine, and tangent) are defined based on the unit circle, hyperbolic trigonometric functions are defined based on the geometry of the hyperbola. These functions have properties similar to their ordinary trigonometric counterparts. For example, sinh(x) and cosh(x) are analogs of sine and cosine, respectively, and have similar symmetries and periodic properties. However, instead of describing the relationships between angles and sides of right triangles, hyperbolic trigonometric functions describe the relationships between sides and diagonals of hyperbolic triangles. They appear in various mathematical contexts, including differential equations, complex analysis, and geometry, as well as in physics and engineering.
