SINH function

Hyperbolic sine function. SINH(x) returns the hyperbolic sine of x. The argument x must be expressed in radians. To convert degrees to radians you use the RADIANS function.

The hyperbolic sine is defined as:

$$ \operatorname{sinh}(x) = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2} $$

The argument x can be a real number, a complex number, or a matrix. When it is a matrix, the function returns a matrix with the same dimensions and with the SINH function applied to all elements.

Examples

SINH(0) equals 0

SINH(1) equals 1.1752012
