1 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions Derivatives of the six trigonometric functions Derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions Hyperbolic functions, inverse hyperbolic functions, an their erivatives Derivatives of Trigonomteric Functions Because trigonometric functions have perioic oscillating behavior, an their slopes also have perioic oscillating behavior, it woul make sense if the erivatives of trigonometric functions were trigonometric. For example, the two graphs below show the function f(x) = sin x an its erivative f (x) =cosx. At each value of x, it turns out that the slope of the graph of f(x) = sin x is given by the height of the graph of f (x) =cosx. Check this for the values x = 5., x = π,anx =4: Slopes of f(x) =sinx at three points Heights of f (x) =cosx at three points 5. π 4 5. π 4 The six trigonometric functions have the following erivatives: Theorem.7 Derivatives of the Trigonometric Functions For all values of x at which the functions below are efine, we have: x (sin x)=cosx x (cos x) = sin x (c) () x (tan x)=sec x x (sec x) =secx tan x (e) (f) x (cot x) = csc x x (csc x)= csc x cot x It is important to note that these erivative formulas are only true if angles are measure in raians; see Exercise 5. Proof. We will prove the formulas for sin x an tan x from parts an (c) an leave the proofs of the remaining four formulas to Exercises The proof of the first formula is nothing more than an annotate calculation using the efinition of erivative. To simplify the limit we obtain we will rewrite sin(x + h) with a trigonometric ientity. Our goal after that will be to rewrite the limit so that we can apply the

2 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 3 two trigonometric limits from Theorem.34 in Section.6. sin(x + h) sin x x (sin x) = lim h 0 h (sin x cos h + sin h cosx) sin x = lim h 0 h sin x(cos h ) + sin h cosx = lim h 0 h = lim sin x cosh +cosx sin h ) h 0 ( ( = sin x lim h 0 h cos h h ) +cosx h ( lim h 0 sin h h ) efinition of erivative sum ientity for sine algebra algebra limit rules = (sin x)(0) + (cos x)() = cos x. trigonometric limits (c) We o not have to resort to the efinition of erivative in orer to prove the formula for ifferentiating tan x. Instea we can use the quotient rule, the fact that tan x = sin x cos x, an the formulas for ifferentiating sin x an cos x: ( x (tan x) = sin x ) x cos x = x (sin x) (cos x) (sin x) x (cos x) (cos x) (cos x)(cos x) (sin x)( sin x) = cos x = cos x + sin x cos = x cos x =sec x. quotient rule erivatives of sin x an cos x algebra an ientities Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions We can use the formulas for the erivatives of the trigonometric functions to prove formulas for the erivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions. Interestingly, although inverse trigonometric functions are transcenental, their erivatives are algebraic: Theorem.8 Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions For all values of x at which the functions below are efine, we have: x (sin x)= x x (tan x)= +x (c) x (sec x)= x x These erivative formulas are particularly useful for fining certain antierivatives, an in Chapter xxx they will be part of our arsenal of integration techniques. Of course, all of these rules can be use in combination with the sum, prouct, quotient, an chain rules. For example, x (sin (3x +))= (3x +) (6x)= 6x x. Proof. We will prove the rule for sin x an leave the remaining two rules to Exercises 85 an 86. We coul apply Theorem.3 here, but it is just as easy to o the implicit ifferentia-

3 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 4 tion by han. Since sin(sin x)=x for all x in the omain of sin x,wehave: sin(sin x)=x x (sin(sin x)) = x (x) cos(sin x) x (sin x)= x (sin x)= x (sin x)= cos(sin x) sin (sin x) x (sin x)=. x sin x is the inverse of sin x ifferentiate both sies chain rule algebra since sin x +cos x = sin x is the inverse of sin x We coul also have use triangles an the unit circle to show that the composition cos(sin x) is equal to the algebraic expression x, as we i in Example 4 of Section 0.4. An interesting fact about the erivatives of inverse sine an inverse secant is that their omains are slightly smaller than the omains of the original functions. Below are the graphs of the inverse trigonometric functions an their omains. f(x) =sin x has omain [, ] " " g(x)=tan x has omain (, ) " " h(x) =sec x has omain (, ] [, ) " " -!"!" - -!"!" -!"!" If you look closely at the first an thir graphs above you shoul notice that at the ens of the omains the tangent lines will be vertical. Since a vertical line has unefine slope, the erivative oes not exist at these points. This means that the erivatives of sin x an sec x are not efine at x =or x = ; see the first an thir graphs below. f (x) = x has omain (, ) 3 g (x) = +x has omain (, ) 3 h (x) = x x has omain (, ) (, ) Hyperbolic Functions an Their Derivatives* The trigonometric functions sine an cosine are circular functions in the sense that they are efine to be the coorinates of a parameterization of the unit circle. This means that the circle efine by x + y =is the path trace out by the coorinates (x, y)=(cost, sin t) as t varies; see the figure below left.

4 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 5 Points on the circle x + y = Points on the hyperbola x y = y y (x,y) = (cos t, sin t) (x,y) = (cosh t, sinh t) x - - x Now let s consier the path trace out by the hyperbola x y =as shown above right. One parameterization of the right half of this hyperbola is trace out by the hyperbolic functions (cosh t, sinh t) that we will spen the rest of this section investigating. The hyperbolic functions are nothing more than simple combinations of the exponential functions e x an e x : Definition.9 Hypberbolic Sine an Hyperbolic Cosine For any real number x, the hyperbolic sine function an the hyperbolic cosine function are efine as the following combinations of exponential functions: sinh x = ex e x cosh x = ex + e x The hyperbolic sine function is pronounce sinch an the hyperbolic cosine function is pronounce cosh. The h is for hyperbolic. As we will soon see, the properties an interrelationships of the hyperbolic functions are similar to the properties an interrelationships of the trigonometric functions. These properties will be particularly useful in Chapter?? when we are attempting to solve certain forms of integrals. It is a simple matter to use the efinition above to verify that for any value of t, the point (x, y)=(cosht, sinh t) lies on the hyperbola x y =; see Exercise 87. We will usually think of this fact with the variable x, as this ientity: cosh x sinh x =. Here we are using the familiar convention that, for example, sinh x is shorthan for (sinh x). Note the similarity between the hyperbolic ientity cosh t sinh t =an the Pythagorean ientity for sine an cosine. Hyperbolic functions also satisfy many other algebraic ientities that are reminiscent of those that hol for trigonometric functions, as you will see in Exercises Just as we can efine four aitional trigonometric functions from sine an cosine,we can efine four aitional hyperbolic functions from hyperbolic sine an hyperbolic cosine. We will be primarily intereste in the hyperbolic tangent function: tanh x = sinh x cosh x = ex e x e x + e x. We can also efine csch x, sechx, an coth x as the reciprocals of sinh x, cosh x, antanh x, respectively. The graphs of sinh x, cosh x, antanh x are shown below. In Exercises 3 6 you will investigate various properties of these graphs.

5 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 6 y =sinhx y =coshx y =tanhx In Chapter 4 we will see that the mile graph of y =coshx is an example of a catenary curve, which is the shape forme by a hanging chain or cable. As with any functions that we stuy, we are intereste in fining formulas for the erivatives of sinh x, coshx, an tanh x. The similarity between hyperbolic functions an trigonometric functions continues here. These erivatives follow a very familiar pattern, iffering from the pattern for trigonometric functions only by a sign change. Theorem.0 Derivatives of Hyperbolic Functions For all real numbers x, wehave: x (sinh x)=coshx x (cosh x) = sinh x (c) x (tanh x) =sech x If you prefer to stay away from the hyperbolic secant functionsechx, you can write the thir erivative above as cosh x. Proof. The proofs of these ifferentiation formulas follow immeiately from the efinitions of the hyperbolic functions as simple combinations of exponential functions. For example, x (sinh x) = The remaining proofs are left to Exercises 9 9. x ( (ex e x )) = (ex + e x ) = coshx. Although hyperbolic functions may seem somewhat exotic, they work with the other ifferentiation rules just like any other functions. For example, with the prouct an chain rules we can calculate: x (5x sinh3 x ) = 5 sinh 3 x +5x(3 sinh x )(cosh x )(x). The erivatives of the remaining three hyperbolic functions are also very similar to those of their trigonometric cousins, but at the moment we will be focusing only on hyperbolic sine, cosine, an tangent. Inverse Hyperbolic Functions an Their Derivatives* For a function to have an inverse, it must be one-to-one. Looking back at the graphs of sinh x, cosh x, antanh x, we see that only cosh x fails to be one-to-one. Just as when we efine the trigonometric inverses, we will restrict the omain of cosh x to a smaller omain on which it is one-to-one. We will choose the restricte omain of cosh x to be x 0. The notation we will use for the inverses of these three functions is what you woul expect: sinh x, cosh x an tanh x. Since the hyperbolic functions are efine as combinations of exponential functions, it woul seem reasonable to expect that their inverses coul be expresse in terms of logarithmic functions. This is in fact the case, as you will see in Exercises However, our main

6 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 7 concern here is to fin formulas for the erivatives of the inverse hyperbolic functions, which we can o irectly from ientities an properties of inverses. Theorem. Derivatives of Inverse Hyperbolic Functions For all x at which the following are efine, we have: x (sinh x)= x + x (cosh x)= x (c) x (tanh x)= x Similar formulas can be evelope for the remaining three inverse hyperbolic functions. Notice the strong similarities between these erivatives an the erivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions. Proof. We will prove the rule for the erivative of sinh x an leave the remaining two rules to Exercises 93 an 94. Starting from the fact that sinh(sinh x) for all x, wecanapply implicit ifferentiation: sinh(sinh x)=x x (sinh(sinh x)) = x (x) cosh(sinh x) x (sinh x)= x (sinh x)= x (sinh x)= cosh(sinh x). x (sinh x)=. +x + sinh (sinh x) sinh x is the inverse of sinh x ifferentiate both sies chain rule, erivative of sinh x algebra since cosh x sinh x = sinh x is the inverse of sinh x Compare this proof with our proof earlier in this section for the erivative of sin x; the two are very similar. Examples an Explorations Example Differentiating combinations of trigonometric functions Fin the erivatives of each of the following functions. f(x)= tan x x 3 f(x) =x sin (3x+) (c) f(x) =sec e x Solution. By the quotient rule an the rule for ifferentiating tangent, we have: ( tan x ) x x 3 = x (tan x) (x3 ) (tan x) x (x3 ) (x 3 ) = (sec x)(x 3 ) (tan x)(3x ) (x 3 ). This is a prouct of functions, an thus we begin with the prouct rule. We will also nee the chain rule to ifferentiate the composition sin (3x +): f (x) = () sin (3x +)+x (3) = 3x (3x +) sin (3x +)+. (3x +)

7 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 8 (c) This is a composition of three functions, an thus we nee to apply the chain rule twice: x (sec e x )= x ((sec(ex )) ) =(sece x ) x (sec ex ) =(sece x )(sec e x )(tan e x ) x (ex ) =(sece x )(sec e x )(tan e x )e x rewrite so compositions are clear first application of chain rule secon application of chain rule erivative of e x Perhaps the trickiest part of this calculation is that the erivative of sec x has two instances of the inepenent variable: x (sec x)=secxtan x. This means that in the calculation above, we neee to put the insie function e x into both of these variable slots. Example Differentiating combinations of hyperbolic functions Fin the erivatives of each of the following functions. f(x) = ln(tanh (x 3 +x +)) f(x) = cosh (e 3x ) Solution. This is a neste chain rule problem, since f(x) is a composition of multiple functions. We will work from the outsie to the insie, one step at a time: f (x)= tanh (x 3 x +x +) (tanh (x 3 +x +)) = tanh (x 3 +x +) ( tanh(x3 +x +)) x (tanh(x3 +x +)) = tanh (x 3 +x +) ( tanh(x3 +x +))(sech (x 3 +x +))(3x +). Once again we have a neste chain rule situation. Notice in particular how the e 3x works with the erivative of inverse hyperbolic cosine: f (x) = (cosh (e 3x )) x (cosh (e 3x )) ( ) = (cosh (e 3x )) (3e 3x ). (e 3x ) Example 3 Fining antierivatives that involve inverse trigonometric functions Fin a function f whose erivative is f (x) = +4x. Solution. Since the erivative of tan x is +x, we might suspect that the function f we are looking for is relate to inverse tangent. We will use an intelligent guess-an-check metho to fin f. Clearlyf(x) =tan x isn t exactly right, since its erivative is missing the 4. A goo guess might be f(x)=tan (4x); let s try that: x (tan (4x)) = +(4x) (4) = 4 +6x. Obviously that wasn t quite right either; but by examining the results we can make a new guess. We might try tan (x), since the x will be square in the erivative an become

8 .6 Derivatives of Trigonometric an Hyperbolic Functions 9 the 4x we are looking for in the enominator: x (tan (x)) = +(x) () = +4x. Now we are getting somewhere; this iffers by a multiplicative constant from the erivative f (x) we are looking for, an that is easy to fix. We nee only ivie our guess by that constant. Try the function f(x)= tan (x): x ( tan (x)) = ( ) +(x) () = +4x. We now know that f(x) = tan (x) is a function whose erivative is f (x) = +4x. Of course, we coul also a any constant to f(x) an not change its erivative; for example, f(x)= tan (x)+5woul also work. In fact, any function of the form f(x)= tan (x)+ C will have f (x)= +4x. Example 4 Fining antierivatives that involve hyperbolic functions Fin a function f whose erivative is f (x) = e x e x. Solution. Until we learn more specific anti-ifferentiation techniques in Chapter??, aproblem like this is best one by an intelligent guess-an-check proceure. Given that we have the inverse hyperbolic functions in min, the best match of the three is the erivative of cosh x. Since the expression for f (x) also involves an e x, let s revise that guess right away to cosh e x. Now we check by ifferentiating with the chain rule: x (cosh e x )= (ex ) ex = e x e x. We guesse it on the first try! We have just shown that f(x) =cosh e x has the esire erivative.? Questions. Test your unerstaning of the reaing by answering these questions: What trigonometric limits were use to fin the erivative of sin x? How can we obtain the erivative of sec x from the erivative of cos x? What is the graphical reason that the omains of the erivatives of sin x an sec x are slightly smaller than the omains of the functions themselves? How are hyperbolic functions similar to trigonometric functions? How are they ifferent? How can we obtain the erivative of sinh x from the erivative of sinh x?

Proof: f(x) = x g(x) x (f(x)(g(x)) ) = (f(x)) x (g(x)) + f(x) x ((g(x)) )= f (x) (g(x)) + f(x) ( g(x)) g (x) = f (x) f(x)g (x) = f (x)g(x) f(x)g (x). g(x) (g(x)) (g(x)) 85. Mimic the proof in Example Let y = x k,where k is a negative integer. Then x k y =, so by implicit ifferentiation an the prouct rule, we have kx k y + x k y =0,anthereforey = kxk x k x k = kx k. Section.5. T, T, F, F, T, T, F, T. 3. No, since the base is a variable. No, since the exponent is a variable. 5. When k =we have x (ex )= x (ex )= e x = e x. When b = e we have x (bx )= x (ex )=(lne)e x =()e x = e x. 7. ln x is of the form log b x with b = e. 9. The graph passing through (0, ) is ( x ); the graph passing through (0, ) an (, 4) is 4 x ; the graph passing through (, 4) is x.. f(3) = 9 =5an g(3) = 8 =64. The solutions to (x) =( x ) are x =0an x =. 3. Consier that logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential functions, an use the efinition of one-to-one. 5. Logarithmic ifferentiation is the process of applying ln x to both sies of an equation y = f(x) an then ifferentiating both sies in orer to solve for f (x). It is useful for fining erivatives of functions that involve multiple proucts or quotients, an functions that have variables in both a base an an exponent. 7. f (x) = ( e 5x ) ( 5e 5x ) 9. f (x) =6xe 4x x e 4x. f (x)= ( )ex ( x)e x e x 3. e x (x +3x ) + e x (x +3) 5. f (x)=3x,withx>0 7. f (x)=e (ex) e x 9. f (x)=e ex+ 3. f (x)=0 33. f (x)= 3x 4 e x + x 3 (e x ). 35. f (x)=x log x + x ln +3x 37. f (x)= x +e (x + x ex ( x )) 39. f (x) = (log (3x 5)) ( ((ln ln 3 x 5 3)3x ) 4. f (x)=xln(ln x)+x ln x x 43. f (x)=(ln) x (x) 8 < (ln ) x, if x< 45. f (x)= DNE, if x = :, if x> x 8 3 < x, if x< 47. f (x)= DNE, if x = :, if x x 49. f (x) = (x ln x + ) (ln x + + (ln )x x x + ) 5. f (x) = x x 3 x(x ) (ln + x ) 53. f (x)=x ln x ()(ln x)( x ) 3x (x 3 ) x 55. f (x)=( x x )x (ln x ln(x ) f (x)=(lnx) ln x ln(ln x) ( + ) x x 59. f(x) = e4x 3x 5 6. f(x) = ln x +3 + C 63. f(x) =ln(+e x )+C x x ) 65.

If f is continuous on [a, b], ifferentiable on (a, b), aniff =f =0,thenthereexists at least one value c (a, b) for which the tangent line to f at x = c is horizontal. 3. The graph of f(x) =(x )(x 6) is one example. 5. Your graph shoul have roots at x = an x =an horizontal tangent lines at three places between these roots. 7. One example is an upsie-own V with roots at x = an x =where the top point of the V occurs at x =. 9. One example is the function f that is equal to x +3for 3 x< an equal to 0 for x =..
