Hyperbolic functions
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- understand how the exponential function is used to define each hyperbolic function: sinh x, cosh x, tanhx, sech x, cosech x and cothx
- draw sketches of the graphs of the hyperbolic functions
- show and apply identities that involve hyperbolic functions
- understand how the inverse hyperbolic functions are defined and work with those definitions, and derive their logarithmic forms and use them
