Definitions

General

The inverse hyperbolic secant function, in modern notation written as arsech(x) or arcsech(x) or sech-1x, gives the value t (hyperbolic angle), so that:

\mathrm{sech}\,{t} = x

The inverse hyperbolic secant function accepts arguments in real interval (0,1], because 0\lt \mathrm{sech}\,{x} \le 1 for all real x. Since the hyperbolic secant is defined through the natural exponential function \mathrm{e}^x , its inverse can be defined through the natural logarithm function, using the following formula, for real x, with 0<x≤1:

\mathrm{arsech}\,{x} = \ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)

Properties

The derivative of the inverse hyperbolic secant function is:

\left(\mathrm{arsech}\,{x}\right)' = \frac{-1}{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}\quad, x\in(0,1)

The integral of the inverse hyperbolic secant function is given by:

\int \mathrm{arsech}\,{x}\, \mathrm{d}x = x\, \mathrm{arsech}\,{x} -2\arctan\sqrt{ \frac{1-x}{1+x} } + C \quad, x\in (0,1]
