Theorem

Let $u$ be a differentiable real function of $x$.

Then:

$\map {\dfrac \d {\d x} } {\sinh u} = \cosh u \dfrac {\d u} {\d x}$

where $\sinh$ is the hyperbolic sine and $\cosh$ is the hyperbolic cosine.


Proof

\(\ds \map {\frac \d {\d x} } {\sinh u}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map {\frac \d {\d u} } {\sinh u} \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) Chain Rule for Derivatives
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \cosh u \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) Derivative of Hyperbolic Sine

$\blacksquare$
