sinhx=+-12/5, coshx=+-13/5, cothx=13/12, sechx=+-5/13 and cschx=+-5/12

Explanation:

We can use relations between hyperbolic functions to find them.

As sech^2x=1-tanh^2x

sech^2x=1-(12/13)^2=1-144/169=(169-144)/169=25/169

or sechx=+-5/13

coshx=1/sechx=+-13/5

Hence sinhx=tanhx xx coshx=+-12/13xx13/5=+-12/5

and cschx=1/sinhx=+-5/12

cothx=1/tanhx=13/12
