DESCRIPTION
The sinh(), sinhf(), and sinhl() functions compute the hyperbolic sine of x. Both sinh(x), sinhf(x), and sinhl(x) are defined as (exp(x) -
exp(-x))/2.
The cosh(), coshf(), and coshl() functions compute the hyperbolic cosine of x. Both cosh(x), coshf(x), and coshl(x) are defined as (e**x
+ e**(-x))/2.
The tanh(), tanhf(), and tanhl() functions compute the hyperbolic tangent of x. Both tanh(x), tanhf(x), and tanhl(x) are defined as (e**x
- e**(-x))/(e**x + e**(-x)).
