The zeros of the hyperbolic sine are exactly , , since is equivalent to . Each zero is simple because . The quotient is therefore holomorphic precisely on
At zero, the Taylor expansion gives , so zero is a simple pole. At , the denominator has a double zero and the numerator is nonzero, giving a pole of order two. Thus none of the omitted points admits a holomorphic extension.
