Osborn’s rule

From previous examples we can see that the close comparison

between identities in trigonometric functions and hyperbolic

functions can be converted into a formulae known as Osborn’s rule,

which states that the cos should be converted to cosh and sin

converted to sinh, except when there is a product of two sines, we

must change the sign.

1sincos 22 xx 1sinhcosh 22 xx

However, whenever using Osborn’s rule care must be taken as the

product of two sines is sometimes disguised egx

Inverse Hyperbolic functions

The inverse hyperbolic functions are defined in a similar manner to

the inverse of trigonometric function.

xy sinhIf then yx 1sinh

xy cosh yx 1cosh

The graphs of inverse hyperbolic functions are obtained from those of

the hyperbolic functions by interchanging the x and y axes.
