Integrations of hyperbolic functions

The exponential functions 𝑒 𝑥 and 𝑒 −𝑥 occur frequently in applied mathematics. Mathematicians try to
form the combinations of them and give special names called the hyperbolic functions.

This section aims to:

1. Recall the definitions of the six hyperbolic functions and their properties; and
2. Enumerate the hyperbolic integration formulas and evaluate the integral hyperbolic functions.

Before proceeding to the integral formulas of the 6 hyperbolic functions, we define the hyperbolic
functions of sine and cosine denoted as sinh x and cosh x as follows:
𝑒 𝑥 −𝑒 −𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 +𝑒 −𝑥
Sinh 𝑥 = and cosh 𝑥 =
2 2

The hyperbolic tangent of x abbreviated tanh x is defined as


sinh 𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 −𝑒 −𝑥
Tanh 𝑥 = cosh 𝑥 = 𝑒𝑥+𝑒−𝑥

The hyperbolic cotangent, hyperbolic secant and hyperbolic cosecant are defined as the reciprocals of
the hyperbolic tangent, hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic sine, respectively, i.e.

Properties of Hyperbolic Functions.

Since the integral of the result of the derivatives of the hyperbolic function brings back to the
function being differentiated, then it would be wise to review the derivatives and properties of the 6
hyperbolic functions.

Inverse Hyperbolic Functions

This section aims to:

1. define and derive the 6 inverse hyperbolic functions:


2. derive the 6 derivatives of the inverse hyperbolic functions; and
3. evaluate integrals leading to inverse hyperbolic functions.

The 6 inverse hyperbolic functions are defined as follows:

𝑦 = sinh−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = sinh 𝑦

𝑦 = cosh−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = cosh 𝑦

𝑦 = tanh−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = tanh 𝑦

𝑦 = coth−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = coth 𝑦

𝑦 = sech−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = sech 𝑦

𝑦 = csch−1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = csch 𝑦
The graphs of the six inverse hyperbolic functions given in Fig. 3.6.1 – Fig.3.6.6 can be obtained by
reflecting about the line y=x the graphs of the hyperbolic functions.

The formal definition of the inverse hyperbolic functions is in terms of the natural exponential function
𝑒𝑥. These 6 definitions are as follows:

sinh−1 𝑥 = ln(𝑥 + √𝑥 2 + 1), 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑥

cosh−1 𝑥 = ln(𝑥 + √𝑥 2 − 1), 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑥 ≥ 1

The union of the two cases gives the domain of sech−1 𝑥. However, we reject −1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 0.

Thus, we have domain as 0 < 𝑥 ≤ 1.

Solution. We begin with integration by parts. With

𝑢 = tanh−1 𝑥 𝑑𝑣 = 2𝑥𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑢 = 𝑑𝑥 𝑣 = 𝑥2
1−𝑥 2

Then the indefinite integral becomes

∫ 2𝑥 tanh−1 𝑥𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 2 tanh−1 𝑥 − ∫ 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 2 tanh−1 𝑥 + ∫ 𝑑𝑥
1 − 𝑥2 𝑥2 − 1
The integrand on the right can be expanded by partial fractions:”
