Math.Cosh Method

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

Returns the hyperbolic cosine of the specified angle.

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

Syntax

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

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Double
The hyperbolic cosine of value. If value is equal to NegativeInfinity or PositiveInfinity, PositiveInfinity is returned. If value is equal to NaN, NaN is returned.

Remarks

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

Examples

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