AP Calculus AB: 6.7.2 Hyperbolic Identities
This section focuses on verifying and understanding identities involving hyperbolic functions like sinh, cosh, and tanh. These identities are similar in form to trigonometric identities but are rooted in the geometry of hyperbolas rather than circles.
Hyperbolic Identities
When verifying a hyperbolic identity, use the definitions of the hyperbolic functions.
The hyperbolic identities mirror many of the trigonometric identities.
The hyperbolic functions are derived from a hyperbola like, the trig functions are derived from a circle.
