Theorem

$\arcoth \dfrac x a = \dfrac 1 2 \map \ln {\dfrac {x + a} {x - a} }$


Proof

\(\ds \arcoth \frac x a\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 2 \map \ln {\frac {\frac x a + 1} {\frac x a - 1} }\) Definition of Real Area Hyperbolic Cotangent
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 2 \map \ln {\frac {x + a} {x - a} }\) multiplying top and bottom by $a$

$\blacksquare$
