Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The differentiation formulas for all of the inverse
trigonometric functions.

Example 1
If f (x) = sin1(x2 1), find f (x).
( x) =

Hyperbolic Functions
For this reason they are collectively called hyperbolic
functions and individually called hyperbolic sine,
hyperbolic cosine, and so on.

10

Hyperbolic Functions
The hyperbolic functions satisfy a number of identities that
are similar to well-known trigonometric identities.
We list some of them here.

11

Hyperbolic Functions
The derivatives of the hyperbolic functions are easily
computed. For example,

12

Hyperbolic Functions
We list the differentiation formulas for the hyperbolic
functions as Table 1.

13

Example 3
Any of these differentiation rules can be combined with the
Chain Rule. For instance,

Exercise 3
y = . Find y ?

Exercise 4
y = sin h (cosh x). Find y ?

Inverse Hyperbolic Functions

The inverse hyperbolic functions are all differentiable

because the hyperbolic functions are differentiable.
