The hyperbolic cotangent is read as , on each interval where
1) Let's calculate:
Replace cosh by its definition:
Replace sinh by its definition:
ⅰ =
ⓘ For real , ; wherever is defined, : = , =
ⓘ For real , ; wherever is defined, : = ■To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators: = , =
ⓘ Perform multiplications before additions and subtractions: =
ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: = , =
ⓘ Dividing a fraction by is multiplying its denominator by : = , = ■Dividing is multiplying by the reciprocal: =
ⅰ =
ⓘ The product of fractions is found by multiplying their numerators together and their denominators together: = =
ⓘ We simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by , their greatest common divisor: = =
▶Result:
2) The numeric value of: equals:
