Recall the definition of the hyperbolic sine function: \(\sinh(u)\), where \(u\) is a function of \(x\). The derivative of \(\sinh(u)\) with respect to \(x\) is \(\cosh(u) \cdot \frac{du}{dx}\).
Identify the inner function \(u = \frac{x}{3}\). We will need to find \(\frac{du}{dx}\).
Calculate the derivative of the inner function: \(\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{3} \right) = \frac{1}{3}\).
Apply the chain rule to differentiate \(y = 6 \sinh \left( \frac{x}{3} \right)\): \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 6 \cdot \cosh \left( \frac{x}{3} \right) \cdot \frac{1}{3}\).
Simplify the expression for the derivative: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cosh \left( \frac{x}{3} \right)\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Hyperbolic Sine Function (sinh)

The hyperbolic sine function, sinh(x), is defined as (e^x - e^(-x))/2. It is similar to the sine function but relates to hyperbolic geometry. Understanding its definition helps in differentiating expressions involving sinh.

Chain Rule

The chain rule is a differentiation technique used when a function is composed of another function, such as y = f(g(x)). It states that the derivative is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.

Derivative of Hyperbolic Functions

The derivative of sinh(x) with respect to x is cosh(x), the hyperbolic cosine function. Knowing this derivative is essential for differentiating expressions involving sinh, especially when combined with the chain rule.
