In this age, we are all keenly aware of how infection by food-borne microorganisms causes
disease. Certain strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) have become particularly
notorious.

Finding the Derivative of an Inverse Trigonometric
8.1 Function
Compute the derivative of (a) cos -1(3x2) and (b) (sec -1x)2.

(a) From the chain rule, we have

8.3 An Integral Related to tan-1x
Evaluate
60
Notice that the integrand is nearly the derivative of tan -1x. However, the
constant in the denominator is 9, instead of the 1 we need. With this in mind,
we rewrite the integral as
61
We leave it as an exercise to prove the more general formula:
Evaluate
62
Think about how you might approach this. You probably won't recognize an
antiderivative immediately. Remember that it often helps to look for terms
that are derivatives of other terms. You should also recognize that e2x = (ex)2.
With this in mind, we let u = ex, so that du = ex dx. We then have

6.9 Hyperbolic Function
65
You can easily use the preceding definitions to verify the important identity
, (9.1)
for any value of u. (We leave this as an exercise.) In light of this identity, notice that if x
= cosh u and y = sinh u, then
66
We define the hyperbolic tangent function the hyperbolic cotangent function
the hyperbolic secant function sech x and the hyperbolic cosecant function csch x as
follows:

INVERSE HYPERBOLIC
Inverses for the remaining three hyperbolic functions can be defined similarly and are left
to the exercises. We show the graphs of and in
Figures 6.48a, 6.48b and 6.48c, respectively. (As usual, you can obtain these by reflecting
the graph of the original function through the line y = x. )

we have shown that
Note the similarity with the derivative formula for sin -1x. We can likewise establish
derivative formulas for the other five inverse hyperbolic functions. We list these below
for the sake of completeness.
