Hyperbolic Functions (Sect. 7.7) : Remark

The document summarizes key concepts regarding hyperbolic functions: 1) Hyperbolic functions are defined based on parametrizing the hyperbola x^2 - y^2 = 1, analogous to how circular functions parametrize the unit circle. Common hyperbolic functions include cosh, sinh, tanh, and coth. 2) These functions satisfy similar identities to circular functions, such as cosh^2(x) - sinh^2(x) = 1, but are not equal. Explicit definitions and some identities are provided. 3) Formulas are given for the derivatives of the main hyperbolic functions, analogous to derivatives of circular functions. 4) Integrals

Remark: The parametrization is not unique. Another solution is
x = cos(n), y = sin(n), n N.

integrand in each left-hand side
Remark: There are many other integration formulas, but the ones
above are the most frequently used.
