Examples of use
Calculation for 0
=SINH(0)
The result is 0, since the hyperbolic sine of 0 is 0.
Calculation for a positive value
=SINH(1)
Result: approximately 1.1752.
Calculation for a negative value
=SINH(-1)
Result: approximately −1.1752, since the hyperbolic sine is an odd function (SINH(-x) = -SINH(x)).
Notes
For large modulus values of the argument, the result may exceed the numerical range.
