f(x)=(ex+e-x)/2 same as f(x)=cosh(x)
h(x)=(ex-e-x)/2 same as h(x)=sinh(x)
note d(cosh(x))/dx=sinh(x)
For domain x=[0,+∞) cosh(x) has range [1,+∞) ,,,,and is increasing always as x increases
which implies
cosh-1(x) is a function and has domain x=(1,+∞) and cosh-1(x) has range (0,+∞)
For this problem, will need to know d(cosh(cosh-1(x)))d(cosh-1(x)=sinh(cosh-1(x))
and that sinh(cosh-1x)=±√(x2-1)
because cosh2(x)-sinh2(x)=1
cosh2(cosh-1(x))-sinh2(cosh-1(x))=1 ,,,,,,cosh(cosh-1(x))=x
sinh(cosh-1x)=±√(x2-1)
Now as cosh(cosh-1(x))=x
then d(cosh(cosh-1(x))/dx=d(x)dx=1
[d(cosh(cosh-1(x)))/d(cosh-1(x))]*[d(cosh-1(x))/dx)]=1 ,,, chain rule left side of equation
sinh(cosh-1(x))*d(cosh-1(x))/dx=1
d(cosh-1(x))/dx=1/sinh(cosh-1(x))=1/±√(x2-1)
since range is specified as (0,+∞), in this case
d(cosh-1(x))/dx=1/√(x2-1)
