COSH
The COSH function returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number. It is used in calculations involving exponential growth or decay. Applicable in fields like 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 🔗
When you need to work with exponential behaviors such as the charging and discharging of capacitors, population growth, or the curve of a hanging cable, the COSH function in Excel can be helpful. This function calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a given number. Just enter the numeric value you are interested in, and Excel will compute the hyperbolic cosine for you. This is useful in modeling various natural and artificial processes.
Examples 🔗
To calculate the hyperbolic cosine of the number 3, use the formula: =COSH(3). This returns the hyperbolic cosine of 3.
Notes 🔗
The COSH function requires the 'number' argument to be a numeric value or a cell reference with a numeric value. It calculates the hyperbolic cosine based on its mathematical definition, useful for exponential and growth calculations.
Questions 🔗
The hyperbolic cosine is essential in modeling exponential growth or decay phenomena, such as the charging and discharging of capacitors, population growth, or the shape of a hanging cable. It finds applications in fields like mathematics, physics, engineering, and finance.
Can the COSH function handle negative input values?Yes, the COSH function can handle negative input values and returns the hyperbolic cosine based on the mathematical definition, providing accurate results for both positive and negative input values.
