Answer

a) $\dfrac{d}{dx}[ \tan^{-1} x(\sinh x) +C] =sech x$ b) $\dfrac{d}{dx}[ \sin^{-1} x(\tanh x) +C] =sech x$

Work Step by Step

a) Recall the formula: $\cosh^2 x-\sinh^2 x=1$ $\dfrac{d}{dx}[ \tan^{-1} x(\sinh x) +C]=\dfrac{1}{(\sinh x)^2 +1} \cosh x=\dfrac{\cosh x}{\sinh^2 x +1} =sech x$ b) Recall the formula: $1- \tanh^2 x =sech^2 x$ $\dfrac{d}{dx}[ \sin^{-1} x(\tanh x) +C]=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt {1-\tanh^2 x}} sech^2 x=\dfrac{sech^2 x}{\sqrt{sech^2 x}} =sech x$
