Inverse identity Show that cosh⁻¹(cosh x) = |x| by using the formula cosh⁻¹ t = ln (t + √(t² – 1)) and considering the cases x ≥ 0 and x < 0.

Recall the definition of the inverse hyperbolic cosine function: \(\cosh^{-1} t = \ln \left(t + \sqrt{t^2 - 1} \right)\) for \(t \geq 1\).
Substitute \(t = \cosh x\) into the formula to get \(\cosh^{-1}(\cosh x) = \ln \left( \cosh x + \sqrt{\cosh^2 x - 1} \right)\).
Use the identity \(\cosh^2 x - 1 = \sinh^2 x\) to rewrite the expression as \(\ln \left( \cosh x + |\sinh x| \right)\).
Consider the two cases separately: - For \(x \geq 0\), \(\sinh x \geq 0\), so \(|\sinh x| = \sinh x\). - For \(x < 0\), \(\sinh x < 0\), so \(|\sinh x| = -\sinh x\).
Evaluate the expression in each case: - When \(x \geq 0\), \(\ln (\cosh x + \sinh x) = \ln (e^x) = x\). - When \(x < 0\), \(\ln (\cosh x - \sinh x) = \ln (e^{-x}) = -x = |x|\). Thus, \(\cosh^{-1}(\cosh x) = |x|\).

Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine Function

The inverse hyperbolic cosine, denoted as cosh⁻¹(t), is the function that returns the value x such that cosh(x) = t for t ≥ 1. It is defined by the formula cosh⁻¹(t) = ln(t + √(t² – 1)), which expresses the inverse in terms of natural logarithms and square roots.

Properties of the Hyperbolic Cosine Function

The hyperbolic cosine function, cosh(x), is an even function, meaning cosh(x) = cosh(–x). It is always greater than or equal to 1 and increases exponentially for large |x|. This symmetry is key to understanding why cosh⁻¹(cosh x) equals the absolute value of x.

Piecewise Analysis Based on Domain

To prove cosh⁻¹(cosh x) = |x|, it is essential to consider two cases: x ≥ 0 and x < 0. Since cosh is even, analyzing these cases separately helps show that the inverse function returns x when x is nonnegative and –x when x is negative, resulting in the absolute value.

39–40. LED lighting LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs are rapidly decreasing in cost, and they are more energy-efficient than standard incandescent light bulbs and CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs. By some estimates, LED bulbs last more than 40 times longer than incandescent bulbs and more than 8 times longer than CFL bulbs. Haitz’s law, which is explored in the following two exercises, predicts that over time, LED bulbs will exponentially increase in efficiency and exponentially decrease in cost.


Haitz’s law predicts that the cost per lumen of an LED bulb decreases by a factor of 10 every 10 years. This means that 10 years from now, the cost of an LED bulb will be 1/10 of its current cost. Predict the cost of a particular LED bulb in 2021 if it costs 4 dollars in 2018.
