Calculus of the Hyperbolic Functions

Apply the formulas for derivatives and integrals of the hyperbolic functions.

Derivatives and Integrals of the Hyperbolic Functions

Recall that the hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine are defined as

\[\text{sinh}\ x=\frac{{e}^{x}-{e}^{\text{-}x}}{2}\ \text{and}\ \text{cosh}\ x=\frac{{e}^{x}+{e}^{\text{-}x}}{2}.\]

The other hyperbolic functions are then defined in terms of \(\text{sinh}\ x\) and \(\text{cosh}\ x.\) The graphs of the hyperbolic functions are shown in the following figure.

It is easy to develop differentiation formulas for the hyperbolic functions. For example, looking at \(\text{sinh}\ x\) we have

\[\begin{array}{ll}\frac{d}{dx}(\text{sinh}\ x) & =\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{{e}^{x}-{e}^{\text{-}x}}{2}) \\ & =\frac{1}{2}[\frac{d}{dx}({e}^{x})-\frac{d}{dx}({e}^{\text{-}x})] \\ & =\frac{1}{2}[{e}^{x}+{e}^{\text{-}x}]=\text{cosh}\ x.\end{array}\]

Similarly, \((d\text{/}dx)\text{cosh}\ x=\text{sinh}\ x.\) We summarize the differentiation formulas for the hyperbolic functions in the following table.

\(f(x)\)\(\frac{d}{dx}f(x)\)
\(\text{sinh}\ x\)\(\text{cosh}\ x\)
\(\text{cosh}\ x\)\(\text{sinh}\ x\)
\(\text{tanh}\ x\)\({\text{sech}}^{2}\ x\)
\(\text{coth}\ x\)\(\text{-}{\text{csch}}^{2}\ x\)
\(\text{sech}\ x\)\(\text{-}\text{sech}\ x\ \text{tanh}\ x\)
\(\text{csch}\ x\)\(\text{-}\text{csch}\ x\ \text{coth}\ x\)

Let’s take a moment to compare the derivatives of the hyperbolic functions with the derivatives of the standard trigonometric functions. There are a lot of similarities, but differences as well. For example, the derivatives of the sine functions match: \((d\text{/}dx)\text{sin}\ x=\text{cos}\ x\) and \((d\text{/}dx)\text{sinh}\ x=\text{cosh}\ x.\) The derivatives of the cosine functions, however, differ in sign: \((d\text{/}dx)\text{cos}\ x=\text{-}\text{sin}\ x,\) but \((d\text{/}dx)\text{cosh}\ x=\text{sinh}\ x.\) As we continue our examination of the hyperbolic functions, we must be mindful of their similarities and differences to the standard trigonometric functions.

These differentiation formulas for the hyperbolic functions lead directly to the following integral formulas.

\[\begin{array}{llllllll}\int \text{sinh}\ u\ du & = & \text{cosh}\ u+C & & & \int {\text{csch}}^{2}\ u\ du & = & \text{-}\text{coth}\ u+C \\ \int \text{cosh}\ u\ du & = & \text{sinh}\ u+C & & & \int \text{sech}\ u\ \text{tanh}\ u\ du & = & \text{-}\text{sech}\ u+C \\ \int {\text{sech}}^{2}u\ du & = & \text{tanh}\ u+C & & & \int \text{csch}\ u\ \text{coth}\ u\ du & = & \text{-}\text{csch}\ u+C\end{array}\]
Example

Try it.

Evaluate the following derivatives:

  1. \(\frac{d}{dx}(\text{sinh}({x}^{2}))\)
  2. \(\frac{d}{dx}{(\text{cosh}\ x)}^{2}\)
Solution

Using the formulas in and the chain rule, we get

  1. \(\frac{d}{dx}(\text{sinh}({x}^{2}))=\text{cosh}({x}^{2})\cdot 2x\)
  2. \(\frac{d}{dx}{(\text{cosh}\ x)}^{2}=2\ \text{cosh}\ x\ \text{sinh}\ x\)

Calculus of Inverse Hyperbolic Functions

Looking at the graphs of the hyperbolic functions, we see that with appropriate range restrictions, they all have inverses. Most of the necessary range restrictions can be discerned by close examination of the graphs. The domains and ranges of the inverse hyperbolic functions are summarized in the following table.

FunctionDomainRange
\({\text{sinh}}^{-1}x\)\((\text{-}\infty ,\infty )\)\((\text{-}\infty ,\infty )\)
\({\text{cosh}}^{-1}x\)\([1,\infty )\)\([0,\infty )\)
\({\text{tanh}}^{-1}x\)\((-1,1)\)\((\text{-}\infty ,\infty )\)
\({\text{coth}}^{-1}x\)\((\text{-}\infty ,-1)\cup (1,\infty )\)\((\text{-}\infty ,0)\cup (0,\infty )\)
\({\text{sech}}^{-1}x\)\((0\text{, 1}]\)\([0,\infty )\)
\({\text{csch}}^{-1}x\)\((\text{-}\infty ,0)\cup (0,\infty )\)\((\text{-}\infty ,0)\cup (0,\infty )\)

The graphs of the inverse hyperbolic functions are shown in the following figure.

To find the derivatives of the inverse functions, we use implicit differentiation. We have

\[\begin{array}{lll}y & = & {\text{sinh}}^{-1}\ x \\ \text{sinh}\ y & = & x \\ \frac{d}{dx}\text{sinh}\ y & = & \frac{d}{dx}x \\ \text{cosh}\ y\frac{dy}{dx} & = & 1.\end{array}\]

Recall that \({\text{cosh}}^{2}y-{\text{sinh}}^{2}y=1,\) so \(\text{cosh}\ y=\sqrt{1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}y}.\) Then,

\[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\text{cosh}\ y}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}y}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{x}^{2}}}.\]

We can derive differentiation formulas for the other inverse hyperbolic functions in a similar fashion. These differentiation formulas are summarized in the following table.

\(f(x)\)\(\frac{d}{dx}f(x)\)
\({\text{sinh}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{x}^{2}}}\)
\({\text{cosh}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}^{2}-1}}\)
\({\text{tanh}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{1}{1-{x}^{2}}\)
\({\text{coth}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{1}{1-{x}^{2}}\)
\({\text{sech}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{-1}{x\sqrt{1-{x}^{2}}}\)
\({\text{csch}}^{-1}x\)\(\frac{-1}{|x|\sqrt{1+{x}^{2}}}\)

Note that the derivatives of \({\text{tanh}}^{-1}\ x\) and \({\text{coth}}^{-1}\ x\) are the same. Thus, when we integrate \(1\text{/}(1-{x}^{2}),\) we need to select the proper antiderivative based on the domain of the functions and the values of \(x.\) Integration formulas involving the inverse hyperbolic functions are summarized as follows.

\[\begin{array}{llllllll}\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{u}^{2}}}du & = & {\text{sinh}}^{-1}u+C & & & \int \frac{1}{u\sqrt{1-{u}^{2}}}du & = & \text{-}{\text{sech}}^{-1}|u|+C \\ \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{{u}^{2}-1}}du & = & {\text{cosh}}^{-1}u+C & & & \int \frac{1}{u\sqrt{1+{u}^{2}}}du & = & \text{-}{\text{csch}}^{-1}|u|+C \\ \int \frac{1}{1-{u}^{2}}du & = & \{\begin{array}{l}{\text{tanh}}^{-1}u+C\ \text{if}\ |u|<1 \\ {\text{coth}}^{-1}u+C\ \text{if}\ |u|>1\end{array} & & & & & \end{array}\]

Applications

One physical application of hyperbolic functions involves hanging cables. If a cable of uniform density is suspended between two supports without any load other than its own weight, the cable forms a curve called a catenary. High-voltage power lines, chains hanging between two posts, and strands of a spider’s web all form catenaries. The following figure shows chains hanging from a row of posts.

Hyperbolic functions can be used to model catenaries. Specifically, functions of the form \(y=a\ \text{cosh}(x\text{/}a)\) are catenaries. shows the graph of \(y=2\ \text{cosh}(x\text{/}2).\)

Example

Try it.

Assume a hanging cable has the shape \(10\ \text{cosh}(x\text{/}10)\) for \(-15\le x\le 15,\) where \(x\) is measured in feet. Determine the length of the cable (in feet).

Solution

Recall from Section \(2.4\) that the formula for arc length is

\[\text{Arc Length}={\int }_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+{[{f}^{'}(x)]}^{2}}\ dx.\]

We have \(f(x)=10\ \text{cosh}(x\text{/}10),\) so \({f}^{'}(x)=\text{sinh}(x\text{/}10).\) Then

\[\begin{array}{ll}\text{Arc Length} & ={\int }_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+{[{f}^{'}(x)]}^{2}}\ dx \\ & ={\int }_{-15}^{15}\sqrt{1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}(\frac{x}{10})}\ dx.\end{array}\]

Now recall that \(1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}x={\text{cosh}}^{2}x,\) so we have

\[\begin{array}{ll}\text{Arc Length} & ={\int }_{-15}^{15}\sqrt{1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}(\frac{x}{10})}\ dx \\ & ={\int }_{-15}^{15}\text{cosh}(\frac{x}{10})dx \\ & =10\ \text{sinh}{(\frac{x}{10})|}_{-15}^{15}=10[\text{sinh}(\frac{3}{2})-\text{sinh}(-\frac{3}{2})]=20\ \text{sinh}(\frac{3}{2}) \\ & \approx 42.586\ \text{ft}\text{.}\end{array}\]

    \[\text{Arc Length}={\int }_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+{[{f}^{'}(x)]}^{2}}\ dx.\]

    We have \(f(x)=10\ \text{cosh}(x\text{/}10),\) so \({f}^{'}(x)=\text{sinh}(x\text{/}10).\) Then

    \[\begin{array}{ll}\text{Arc Length} & ={\int }_{-15}^{15}\sqrt{1+{\text{sinh}}^{2}(\frac{x}{10})}\ dx \\ & ={\int }_{-15}^{15}\text{cosh}(\frac{x}{10})dx \\ & =10\ \text{sinh}{(\frac{x}{10})|}_{-15}^{15}=10[\text{sinh}(\frac{3}{2})-\text{sinh}(-\frac{3}{2})]=20\ \text{sinh}(\frac{3}{2}) \\ & \approx 42.586\ \text{ft}\text{.}\end{array}\]

Fragen, die die Leute stellen

What is a derivative in one sentence?

The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.

What is an integral in one sentence?

The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.

Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?

That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.

When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?

Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
