COSH
The COSH function returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number. It is useful for calculations involving exponential growth or decay in various fields such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and finance.
Example explanation
Cells [B2:B5] use the COSH function to calculate the hyperbolic cosine of the angle specified in their corresponding cell in column A (in radians).
Syntax 🔗
=COSH(number)
number | The numeric value for which the hyperbolic cosine will be calculated. |
About COSH 🔗
Imagine you're dealing with phenomena that exhibit exponential behavior, like the charging and discharging of capacitors, population growth, or the shape of a hanging cable. In such scenarios, understanding the hyperbolic cosine becomes crucial. The COSH function in Excel aids in precisely tackling these exponential patterns across diverse disciplines, offering a powerful tool for computation and analysis. Simply input the numeric value for which you seek the hyperbolic cosine, and Excel diligently calculates and returns the result. The hyperbolic cosine plays a significant role in modeling various natural and artificial processes, making the COSH function an indispensable asset for professionals and students alike.
Examples 🔗
If you want to calculate the hyperbolic cosine of the number 3, you can use the following formula: =COSH(3). This will return the hyperbolic cosine of 3.
Notes 🔗
The COSH function assumes that the 'number' argument is a valid numeric value or a reference to a cell containing a valid numeric value. It operates based on the mathematical definition of the hyperbolic cosine and is designed to provide accurate results in various exponential and growth-related calculations.
Questions 🔗
