numpy.cosh — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.cosh(_x_[, _out_]) = <ufunc 'cosh'>

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

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()
