Can someone help me with understanding circular and hyperbol
Can someone help me with understanding circular and hyperbolic functions?
Solution
That is one vast field beyond the perview of a single questions. Still I would like to take you through the basics of these 2 type of functions -
Trigonometric functions are also called circular functions
The circle x2 + y2 = 1 can be parametrized by the functions x = cos(), y = sin().
Since these functions satisfy cos2() + sin2() = 1
Hyperbolic functions are a parametrization of a hyperbola
The hyperbolax2 - y2 = 1 can be parametrized by the functions x = f (u), y = g(u),
satisfying the condition f2(u) g2(u) = 1
The hyperbolic trigonometric functions are defined by
cosh(u) = 1/2 (eu + eu) , sinh(u) = 1/2 (eu - eu) .
cosh2(x) sinh2(x) = 1
