In Exercises 13–24, find the derivative of y with respect to the appropriate variable.
23. y = (x²+1)sech(ln x)
(Hint: Before differentiating, express in terms of exponentials and simplify.)

Recognize that the function is a product of two functions: \(y = (x^{2} + 1) \cdot \text{sech}(\ln x)\). We will need to use the product rule for differentiation, which states: \(\frac{d}{dx}[u \cdot v] = u'v + uv'\).
Rewrite the hyperbolic secant function in terms of exponentials. Recall that \(\text{sech}(z) = \frac{2}{e^{z} + e^{-z}}\). So, \(\text{sech}(\ln x) = \frac{2}{e^{\ln x} + e^{-\ln x}}\).
Simplify the expression inside the denominator using properties of logarithms and exponentials: \(e^{\ln x} = x\) and \(e^{-\ln x} = \frac{1}{x}\). Thus, \(\text{sech}(\ln x) = \frac{2}{x + \frac{1}{x}}\).
Simplify the denominator further by combining terms: \(x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x^{2} + 1}{x}\). Therefore, \(\text{sech}(\ln x) = \frac{2}{\frac{x^{2} + 1}{x}} = \frac{2x}{x^{2} + 1}\).
Rewrite the original function using this simplification: \(y = (x^{2} + 1) \cdot \frac{2x}{x^{2} + 1}\). Notice that \((x^{2} + 1)\) cancels out, so \(y = 2x\). Now, differentiate \(y = 2x\) with respect to \(x\) using basic differentiation rules.

Hyperbolic Secant Function and Its Exponential Form

The hyperbolic secant function, sech(x), can be expressed using exponentials as sech(x) = 2 / (e^x + e^(-x)). This form simplifies differentiation by converting hyperbolic functions into exponential terms, making it easier to apply derivative rules.

Chain Rule

The chain rule is used to differentiate composite functions. When a function is nested inside another, such as sech(ln x), the derivative is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.

Product Rule

The product rule is applied when differentiating the product of two functions, like (x² + 1) and sech(ln x). It states that the derivative is the first function times the derivative of the second plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
