Math.Sinh Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the hyperbolic sine of the specified angle.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Sinh ( _
    value As Double _
) As Double
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static double Sinh(
    double value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Double
The hyperbolic sine of value. If value is equal to NegativeInfinity, PositiveInfinity, or NaN, this method returns a Double equal to value.

Remarks

The angle, value, must be in radians. Multiply by Math.PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.

Examples

The following example uses Sinh to evaluate certain hyperbolic identities for selected values.
