Theorem
Let $u$ be a differentiable real function of $x$.
Then:
- $\map {\dfrac \d {\d x} } {\sech^{-1} u} = \dfrac {-1} {u \sqrt {1 - u^2} } \dfrac {\d u} {\d x}$
where $0 < u < 1$
where $\sech^{-1}$ is the inverse hyperbolic secant.
Proof
\(\ds \map {\frac \d {\d x} } {\sech^{-1} u}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\frac \d {\d u} } {\sech^{-1} u} \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) | Chain Rule for Derivatives | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac {-1} {u \sqrt {1 - u^2} } \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) | Derivative of Inverse Hyperbolic Secant |
