Step-by-step

  1. eˣ = e^1 = 2.718282.
  2. e⁻ˣ = e^-1 = 0.367879.
  3. sinh(x) = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ) / 2 = 1.175201.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter x.
  • Read sinh(x) + e^x components.

About this calculator

Hyperbolic sine: sinh(x) = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ) / 2. Like its trig cousin, sinh is an odd function (sinh(−x) = −sinh(x)) and grows roughly exponentially. Key identity: cosh²(x) − sinh²(x) = 1. Used in physics (catenary curve = a cosh(x/a) describes a hanging chain), engineering (suspension cables), and special relativity.

Frequently asked

sin is bounded [−1, 1] and periodic. sinh is unbounded and grows like eˣ/2 for large x. Different curves entirely.
