Hyperbolic Functions - definitions and solving We will see the definition and purpose of hyperbolic functions such as sinh x, cosh.x, their inverses, and how we can manipulate them, such as solving equations, differentiating and integrating. 1 :: Definition of hyperbolic Pen eal aie Clog RU old bite eles “Find the exact value Prove that of: tanh (In 4)” arcosh x = In(x + yx?=1) Piece) Rural en Solve for all real x 2cosh* x —5sinhx =5 x -x 1 | ee coshx => (e*+e™*) 2 x _ px 1 sinhx =< sinhx = 5(e* —e™*) Using these defintions, find the definitions of: sechx tanhx cosech x cothx Hyperbolic sine: e*-e he = sinh x 5 x€R Hyperbolic cosin +2 2 cosh x xeR Hyperbolic tangent: sinhx _e*—1 xeER e+ Hyperbolic secant: 1 2 sechx = _—_—_— xeER cosh x Hyperbolic cosecant: cosech x = xERx #0 sinhx Hyperbolic cotangent: Gan) coth x = = tanhx e?*—1 xERx#0 Say as “shine” of x Say as “cosh” Say as “th-an” Say as “setch” Say as “cosetch” Say as “coth” Equations for hyperbolic functions Calculate (using both your sinh button and using the formula) sinh3 Write in terms of e: cosech 3 Find the exact value of: tanh (In 4) Solve sinh x = 5 Sketching hyperbolic functions Odd or Even? y = sinhx h ee coshx = 2 sinhx To sketch y = tanh x, consider the usual features when tanhx = you sketch a graph. coshx When x = 0, Asx > ©, As x > —00, Sketching the reciprocal hyperbolic functions ccosech (1) sinh(2) sech o| [FP3 June 2011 Q5] The curve C; has equation y = 3 sinh 2x, and the curve C, has equation y=13-3e% (@ Sketch the graph of the curves C, and C; on one set of axes, giving the equation of any asymptote and the coordinates of points where the curves cross the axes. @) Ex 6A Inverse Hyperbolic Functions sin! x =arcsin x sinh" x = arsinh x etc. y Given that hyperbolic functions can be written in terms of e, it make sense that inverse hyperbolic can be expressed in terms of In.
