Chapter 2: Differentiation
Section 2.10: The Inverse Hyperbolic Functions and Their Derivatives
Example 2.10.2
Evaluate ⅆⅆx tanh−1x.
Solution
In Maple, there are at least three ways to obtain the required derivative.

tanh−1x→differentiate w.r.t. x12⁢x⁢1−x
Solution #2
Expression palette: Differentiation template
Context Panel: Evaluate and Display Inline
ⅆⅆ x tanh−1x = 12⁢x⁢1−x
Solution #3 (stepwise)
Expression palette: Differentiation template Select t as the differentiation variable and enter the function to be differentiated.

A stepwise solution can also be generated interactively with the tutor, or more immediately, with the Context Panel, as per Figure 2.10.2(a).
