In Mathematica, arguments of functions are enclosed in square brackets
[] and NOT in parentheses () -- unless, that is, you're trying to use
TraditionalForm input (which can be dangerous due to its possible
ambiguity).
So you want:
Plot[Cosh[x],{x,-1,1}]
In what you had, the parentheses are just grouping symbols, so the
expression fed to Plot is a product of the symbols Cosh and x.
