Chapter 7, Problem 7.7.17
In Exercises 13–24, find the derivative of y with respect to the appropriate variable.
17. y = ln(sinh z)
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function given: \(y = \ln(\sinh z)\), where \(\sinh z\) is the hyperbolic sine function.
Recall the chain rule for differentiation: if \(y = \ln(u)\), then \(\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{1}{u} \cdot \frac{du}{dz}\).
Set \(u = \sinh z\). Then find the derivative of \(u\) with respect to \(z\): \(\frac{du}{dz} = \cosh z\), since the derivative of \(\sinh z\) is \(\cosh z\).
Apply the chain rule: \(\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{1}{\sinh z} \cdot \cosh z\).
Express the derivative as \(\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{\cosh z}{\sinh z}\), which can also be written as \(\coth z\) if desired.

1mKey Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Derivative of the Natural Logarithm Function
The derivative of ln(u), where u is a differentiable function of a variable, is given by (1/u) * (du/dx). This rule allows us to differentiate logarithmic functions by first identifying the inner function and then applying the chain rule.

Derivative of the Natural Logarithmic Function
Hyperbolic Sine Function and Its Derivative
The hyperbolic sine function, sinh(z), is defined as (e^z - e^(-z))/2. Its derivative with respect to z is cosh(z), which is (e^z + e^(-z))/2. Knowing this derivative is essential when differentiating expressions involving sinh.

Chain Rule in Differentiation
The chain rule is used to differentiate composite functions. It states that the derivative of a composite function f(g(x)) is f'(g(x)) * g'(x). This rule is crucial when differentiating ln(sinh z), as ln and sinh are nested functions.
