Q

Derivatives of Hyperbolic Functions

A
  • To differentiate the hyperbolic functions, use their definitions.
  • The derivatives of the hyperbolic functions resemble those of the trigonometric functions.
2
Q

note

A
  • To determine the derivatives of the hyperbolic functions you have to differentiate the exponential expressions that define them.
  • When you differentiate the expression for sinh x you produce the expression for cosh x.
  • You don’t have to go back to the definitions every time. After a while you will remember them.
  • Notice that the derivates of the hyperbolic functions are in some ways similar to those of the trigonometric functions. However, there are some differences.
  • The derivative of cosh x is sinh x, even though the derivative of cos x is –sin x.
  • And the derivative of sech x is –sech x tanh x, even though the derivative of sec x does not have a negative sign in front.
  • Here is an example that looks pretty mean. However, you only need the chain rule and one of the derivatives you just learned.
  • Notice that the exponent here is sinh x. That’s the inside part to which you will apply the chain rule.
  • The derivative of sinh x is cosh x.
  • This answer has been regrouped for a nicer presentation.
