The Math.sinh()
function returns the hyperbolic sine of a number, that can be expressed using the constant e:
Math.sinh(x)
x
Because sinh()
is a static method of Math
, you always use it as Math.sinh()
, rather than as a method of a Math
object you created (Math
is not a constructor).
Math.sinh()
Math.sinh(0); // 0 Math.sinh(1); // 1.1752011936438014
This can be emulated with the help of the Math.exp() function:
Math.sinh = Math.sinh || function(x) { return (Math.exp(x) - Math.exp(-x)) / 2; }
or using only one call to the Math.exp() function:
Math.sinh = Math.sinh || function(x) { var y = Math.exp(x); return (y - 1 / y) / 2; }
