Math Problem Statement

Inverse hyperbolic function of sine cosine and tangent

Solution

The inverse hyperbolic functions are the inverses of the hyperbolic sine (sinhx\sinh x), hyperbolic cosine (coshx\cosh x), and hyperbolic tangent (tanhx\tanh x) functions. They are denoted as arsinh(x)\text{arsinh}(x), arcosh(x)\text{arcosh}(x), and artanh(x)\text{artanh}(x), respectively. Here are their definitions and formulas:

1. Inverse Hyperbolic Sine (arsinh(x)\text{arsinh}(x))

The inverse hyperbolic sine function is defined as: arsinh(x)=ln(x+x2+1)\text{arsinh}(x) = \ln\left(x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}\right) where ln\ln is the natural logarithm.

2. Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine (arcosh(x)\text{arcosh}(x))

The inverse hyperbolic cosine function is defined as: arcosh(x)=ln(x+x21)\text{arcosh}(x) = \ln\left(x + \sqrt{x^2 - 1}\right) This function is only defined for x1x \geq 1.

3. Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent (artanh(x)\text{artanh}(x))

The inverse hyperbolic tangent function is defined as: artanh(x)=12ln(1+x1x)\text{artanh}(x) = \frac{1}{2}\ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) This function is defined for 1<x<1-1 < x < 1.

These functions are useful in various areas of mathematics, including calculus, complex analysis, and solving certain types of differential equations.
