INTEGRATION OF INVERSE

HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS
MATH22
Calculus2

Objectives: At the end of the chapter the

student is
expected to
state the definition of inverse hyperbolic function
in terms of logarithm.
recall the derivatives of inverse hyperbolic
functions.
Identify and familiar themselves with the
integrals of inverse hyperbolic functions.
Integrate with accuracy and patience the given
set of problems.

The following relationships hold for all x

in the domains of the stated inverse hyperbolic
functions.
1. sinh 1 x ln( x x 2 1
4. cosh 1 x ln( x x 2 1)
