SINH()
Syntax. SINH(number)
Definition. This function returns the hyperbolic sine of a number.
Argument
number (required) Any real number
Background. The hyperbolic sine belongs to the hyperbolic functions which are (like the circle functions) defined for all real and complex numbers. (However, Excel allows only real arguments, not complex arguments, for hyperbolic functions.) The formula for the hyperbolic sine is:
A hyperbolic sine is shown in Figure 16-29. The hyperbolic sine is often used for research and development in engineering and natural sciences.
Figure 16-29. The hyperbolic sine is odd and monotonic increasing between -∞ and +∞.
