Math.cosh()

The Math.cosh() static method returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number. That is,

π™ΌπšŠπšπš‘.πšŒπš˜πšœπš‘ ( 𝚑 ) = cosh ( x ) = e x + e βˆ’ x 2 \mathtt{\operatorname{Math.cosh}(x)} = \cosh(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x + \mathrm{e}^{-x}}{2}

Try it

Syntax

js
Math.cosh(x)

Parameters

x

A number.

Return value

The hyperbolic cosine of x.

Description

Because cosh() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.cosh(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).

Examples

Using Math.cosh()

js
Math.cosh(-Infinity); // Infinity
Math.cosh(-1); // 1.5430806348152437
Math.cosh(-0); // 1
Math.cosh(0); // 1
Math.cosh(1); // 1.5430806348152437
Math.cosh(Infinity); // Infinity
