The trajectory described by the function is that of a catenary. Other names that have been given to the curve are chainette (French) and funicular curve.
The curve traces the shape taken by a (perfect, uniform) flexible and inextensible chain between two supports, as result of gravity. Galileo was wrong in supposing this curve is the parabola.
