Rewriting trigonometric/hyperbolic functions in terms of half tangent/exponentials

### 9.2.20 Rewriting trigonometric/hyperbolic functions in terms of half tangent/exponentials

The halftan_hyp2exp command rewrites the trigonometric function in terms of tan(x/2) (like halftan, see Section 9.2.19) and rewrites the hyperbolic functions in terms of their definitions using exponentials, namely:

sinh(x) = |
ex−e−x
2
| , cosh(x) = |
ex+e−x
2
| , tanh(x) = |
ex−e−x
ex+e−x
| = |
e2x−1
e2x+1
| .

- halftan_hyp2exp takes expr, a trigonometric and hyperbolic expression.
- halftan_hyp2exp(expr) returns expr with any trigonometric functions replaced by the appropriate expression in tan(x/2) and any hyperbolic functions replaced by the appropriate exponentials.

#### Examples

halftan_hyp2exp(tan(x)+tanh(x))
