    Hyperbolic Cosine

    Alternate name
    Definition

    The hyperbolic cosine is defined as cosh z congruent 1/2(e^z + e^(-z)). The notation ch x is sometimes also used (Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. xxix). This function describes the shape of a hanging cable, known as the catenary. It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as Cosh[z]. Special values include cosh0 | = | 1 cosh(ln ϕ) | = | 1/2 sqrt(5), where ϕ is the golden ratio.
