`f(t) = arctan(sinht)` Find the derivative of the function

`f(t)=arctan(sinh(t))`


Take note that the derivative formula of arctangent is


  • `d/dx[arctan(u)]=1/(1+u^2)*(du)/dx`

Applying this, the derivative of the function will be


`f'(t) = d/(dt)[arctan(sinh(t))]`


`f'(t) = 1/(1+sinh^2(t)) *d/(dt)[sinh(t)]`


Also, the derivative formula of hyperbolic sine is 


  • `d/dx[sinh(u)]=cosh(u)*(du)/(dx)`

Applying this, f'(t) will become


`f'(t)= 1/(1+sinh^2(t)) *cosh(t)*d/(dt)(t)`


`f'(t)= 1/(1+sinh^2(t)) *cosh(t)*1`


`f'(t)= cosh(t)/(1+sinh^2(t))`


`f'(t)= cosh(t)/(cosh^2(t))`


`f'(t)= 1/cosh(t)`  is the final derivative

Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800. Why could it be described in this way?

Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 can be called the “Revolution of 1800” because it was the first time in America’s short history that pow...
