Lecture 8 – Hyperbolic Functions Functions involving a combination of two exponentials. Applications – heat, electricity, catenary
Example 1 What is the length of y = cosh x from x = -a to x = a?
Example 2 A power line hangs between two poles 14 m apart in the shape of a catenary y = 20 cosh (x/20) -15, where x and y are measured in meters. a) Find the slope where it meets the right pole. b) Find the angle between power line and pole.
