Is there an easy way to generally simplify any hyperbolic functions of inverse hyperbolic functions, with examples shown below?
$$\tanh(2\operatorname{arctanh}(x))$$
$$\coth(\operatorname{arccosech}(x))$$
I'm wondering this as for my calculas exam in a week sometimes I am given questions of this format and we have not formally been taught how to do something like this.
I'm aware that $\cosh(\operatorname{arccosh}(x))=x$, etc., but I find that I can't do examples similar to those above without wasting alot of my exam time.
Sorry about the wording of this question, I'm finding it very awkward to phrase.
Thanks in advance.
For the first one, use the double angle formula $$\tanh2A=\frac{2\tanh A}{1+\tanh^2A}$$ So the result is $$\frac {2x}{1+x^2}$$
For the second one, and similar expressions, you could try using the hyperbolic analogue of the trig mnemonic SOHCAHTOA which is CHASOATOH:
You have $$\operatorname{cosech}A=x$$ which means the adjacent side of the right angled triangle is $x$ and the opposite side is $1$ (following SOA). The hypotenuse is obviously $\sqrt{1+x^2}$ and therefore $\coth A$ is H/O which gives the result $\sqrt{1+x^2}$
