Syntax​

SELECT COSH(value) FROM <multipartIdentifier>;

Arguments​

value
A numeric expression for which the hyperbolic cosine is to be calculated.

Return Value(s)​

Returns the hyperbolic cosine of the specified value.

Examples​

Calculate the hyperbolic cosine of 1​

SELECT COSH(1) AS hyperbolic_cosine_value;

This query returns approximately 1.5431, as the hyperbolic cosine of 1 is about 1.5431.

Calculate the hyperbolic cosine of 0​

SELECT COSH(0) AS hyperbolic_cosine_value;

This query calculates the hyperbolic cosine of 0, resulting in 1, since the hyperbolic cosine of 0 is exactly 1.
