Osborn’s rule

From previous examples we can see that the close comparison


between identities in trigonometric functions and hyperbolic
functions can be converted into a formulae known as Osborn’s rule,
which states that the cos should be converted to cosh and sin
converted to sinh, except when there is a product of two sines, we
must change the sign.

cos 2 x 
cosh  sinh
sin 2 2xx11

However, whenever using Osborn’s rule care must be taken as the

product of two sines is sometimes disguised eg


sin 2 x

If 
f x   cosh x  e  e

then f ' x  1 x x

e  e  sinh x

d
cosh x   sinh x

Similarly

If f x   sinh x  

then f '  x   

e  e  cosh x

d
sinh x   cosh x

From this it follows that
 sinh xdx  cosh x  c


and
cosh xdx  sinh x  c

Inverse Hyperbolic functions
The inverse hyperbolic functions are defined in a similar manner to
the inverse of trigonometric function.

If y  sinh x then x  sinh 1 y

If y  cosh x then x  cosh 1 y


The graphs of inverse hyperbolic functions are obtained from those of
the hyperbolic functions by interchanging the x and y axes.
