Thread: How would you derive this??

ok so here is the function (we're working with hyperbolic trig)....

y= arctan(sinhx)

so i'm thinking we do product rule here? but then, what's the derivative of arctan? is there one?

the derivative of arctan(x) is something you can find in your text.

oh wow that completely slipped my mind. thanks!

Or you can take , that also makes sense.

yes. and, of course, you would have to do implicit differentiation here
