numpy.cosh

numpy.cosh(x[, out])

Hyperbolic cosine, element-wise.

Equivalent to 1/2 * (np.exp(x) + np.exp(-x)) and np.cos(1j*x).

Parameters:

x : array_like

Input array.

Returns:

out : ndarray

Output array of same shape as x.

Examples

>>> np.cosh(0)
1.0

The hyperbolic cosine describes the shape of a hanging cable:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> x = np.linspace(-4, 4, 1000)
>>> plt.plot(x, np.cosh(x))
>>> plt.show()
