SINH

Hyperbolic sine of the number: (e^x - e^-x) / 2.

Group: Math. Compatible with DAX.

Syntax

SINH ( <number> )

Parameter	Type	Description
`number`	Number	Any number.

Returns

Number. The hyperbolic sine of the number: half of e to the number minus e to minus the number.

Remarks

It is odd: SINH ( -x ) is -SINH ( x ), and SINH ( 0 ) is 0.
A blank gives BLANK.
From about 710 (or below about -710) the result no longer fits in a number, and the call is an error.
