The COSH function in Excel is used to calculate the hyperbolic cosine of a given number. Hyperbolic cosine is a mathematical function similar to the standard cosine function, but it pertains to hyperbolic geometry.
Here’s how you can use the COSH function in Excel:
Syntax:
COSH(number)
- number: This is the value (in radians) for which you want to calculate the hyperbolic cosine.
Steps to Use COSH Function:
=COSH(1.5)
- Open Excel: Start Microsoft Excel on your computer.
- Select a Cell: Click on the cell where you want the result of the COSH function to be displayed.
- Enter the Formula: Type the formula using the COSH function. For example, if you want to find the hyperbolic cosine of 1.5, you would enter:
- Press Enter: After typing the formula, press the Enter key to calculate the result. Excel will compute the hyperbolic cosine of the specified number and show the result in the selected cell.
Example:
Suppose you have a value in cell A1 and you want to calculate its hyperbolic cosine. Enter the following formula in any other cell:
=COSH(A1)
After pressing Enter, you will get the hyperbolic cosine of the value contained in cell A1.
Note:
=COSH(RADIANS(60))
- Ensure that the number you provide to the COSH function is in radians. If you have an angle in degrees, you can convert it to radians first using the `RADIANS` function. For example:
- COSH can handle both positive and negative numbers.
This function is particularly useful in mathematical, engineering, and scientific calculations involving hyperbolic trigonometry.
