Hello,
I am a beginner in computer programming. I am studying math, and the math class
that I will be taking requires knowledge in Python. So, I am in a computer
science class. Therefore, I do not have an in-depth knowledge of computer
programming.
I am currently trying to write a program in Python version 2.7.5 that uses the
math module to compute sinh(x) = 1/2(e^x - e^(-x)) in three ways for a given
value of x:
1a) by using the sinh function
1b) by using the exp function
1c) by using the value of e and the exponentiation operator **
2. Print the results and note any differences that appear.
So, I know that I have to create a NotePad file so that I can import that into
my command prompt.
In my NotePad file, I have the following...I'm not sure if I am even going
about doing this problem correctly...
def sinh(x):
return (1/2)*(e^x - e^(-x))
def exp(x):
return e**x
I am stuck, and don't know where to go from here. I would appreciate help
please.
Thank you.
