# 4.5 The trigonometric and hyperbolic functions

 Page 1 / 1
Two theorems covering differentiation of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, including practice exercises corresponding to the theorems.

The laws of exponents and the algebraic connections between the exponential function and the trigonometric andhyperbolic functions, give the following “addition formulas:”

The following identities hold for all complex numbers $z$ and $w.$

$sin\left(z+w\right)=sin\left(z\right)cos\left(w\right)+cos\left(z\right)sin\left(w\right).$
$cos\left(z+w\right)=cos\left(z\right)cos\left(w\right)-sin\left(z\right)sin\left(w\right).$
$sinh\left(z+w\right)=sinh\left(z\right)cosh\left(w\right)+cosh\left(z\right)sinh\left(w\right).$
$cosh\left(z+w\right)=cosh\left(z\right)cosh\left(w\right)+sinh\left(z\right)sinh\left(w\right).$

We derive the first formula and leave the others to an exercise.

First, for any two real numbers $x$ and $y,$ we have

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill cos\left(x+y\right)+isin\left(x+y\right)& =& {e}^{i\left(x+y\right)}\hfill \\ & =& {e}^{ix}{e}^{iy}\hfill \\ & =& \left(cosx+isinx\right)×\left(cosy+isiny\right)\hfill \\ & =& cosxcosy-sinxsiny+i\left(cosxsiny+sinxcosy\right),\hfill \end{array}$

which, equating real and imaginary parts, gives that

$cos\left(x+y\right)=cosxcosy-sinxsiny$

and

$sin\left(x+y\right)=sinxcosy+cosxsiny.$

The second of these equations is exactly what we want, but this calculation only shows that it holds for real numbers $x$ and $y.$ We can use the Identity Theorem to show that in fact this formula holds for all complex numbers $z$ and $w.$ Thus, fix a real number $y.$ Let $f\left(z\right)=sinzcosy+coszsiny,$ and let

$g\left(z\right)=sin\left(z+y\right)=\frac{1}{2i}\left({e}^{i\left(z+y\right)}-{e}^{-i\left(z+y\right)}=\frac{1}{2i}\left({e}^{iz}{e}^{iy}-{e}^{-iz}{e}^{-iy}\right).$

Then both $f$ and $g$ are power series functions of the variable $z.$ Furthermore, by the previous calculation, $f\left(1/k\right)=g\left(1/k\right)$ for all positive integers $k.$ Hence, by the Identity Theorem, $f\left(z\right)=g\left(z\right)$ for all complex $z.$ Hence we have the formula we want for all complex numbers $z$ and all real numbers $y.$

To finish the proof, we do the same trick one more time. Fix a complex number $z.$ Let $f\left(w\right)=sinzcosw+coszsinw,$ and let

$g\left(w\right)=sin\left(z+w\right)=\frac{1}{2i}\left({e}^{i\left(z+w\right)}-{e}^{-i\left(z+w\right)}=\frac{1}{2i}\left({e}^{iz}{e}^{iw}-{e}^{-iz}{e}^{-iw}\right).$

Again, both $f$ and $g$ are power series functions of the variable $w,$ and they agree on the sequence $\left\{1/k\right\}.$ Hence they agree everywhere, and this completes the proof of the first addition formula.

1. Derive the remaining three addition formulas of the preceding theorem.
2. From the addition formulas, derive the two “half angle” formulas for the trigonometric functions:
${sin}^{2}\left(z\right)=\frac{1-cos\left(2z\right)}{2},$
and
${cos}^{2}\left(z\right)=\frac{1+cos\left(2z\right)}{2}.$

The trigonometric functions $sin$ and $cos$ are periodic with period $2\pi ;$ i.e., $sin\left(z+2\pi \right)=sin\left(z\right)$ and $cos\left(z+2\pi \right)=cos\left(z\right)$ for all complex numbers $z.$

We have from the preceding exercise that $sin\left(z+2\pi \right)=sin\left(z\right)cos\left(2\pi \right)+cos\left(z\right)sin\left(2\pi \right),$ so that the periodicity assertion for the sine function will follow if we show that $cos\left(2\pi \right)=1$ and $sin\left(2\pi \right)=0.$ From part (b) of the preceding exercise, we have that

$0={sin}^{2}\left(\pi \right)=\frac{1-cos\left(2\pi \right)}{2}$

which shows that $cos\left(2\pi \right)=1.$ Since ${cos}^{2}+{sin}^{2}=1,$ it then follows that $sin\left(2\pi \right)=0.$

The periodicity of the cosine function is proved similarly.

1. Prove that the hyperbolic functions $sinh$ and $cosh$ are periodic. What is the period?
2. Prove that the hyperbolic cosine $cosh\left(x\right)$ is never 0 for $x$ a real number, that the hyperbolic tangent $tanh\left(x\right)=sinh\left(x\right)/cosh\left(x\right)$ is bounded and increasing from $R$ onto $\left(-1,1\right),$ and that the inverse hyperbolic tangent has derivative given by ${{tanh}^{-1}}^{\text{'}}\left(y\right)=1/\left(1-{y}^{2}\right).$
3. Verify that for all $y\in \left(-1,1\right)$
${tanh}^{-1}\left(y\right)=ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{1+y}{1-y}}\right).$

Let $z$ be a nonzero complex number. Prove that there exists a unique real number $0\le \theta <2\pi$ such that $z=r{e}^{i\theta },$ where $r=|z|.$

HINT: If $z=a+bi,$ then $z=r\left(\frac{a}{r}+\frac{b}{r}i.$ Observe that $-1\le \frac{a}{r}\le 1,$ $-1\le \frac{b}{r}\le 1,$ and ${\left(\frac{a}{r}\right)}^{2}+{\left(\frac{b}{r}\right)}^{2}=1.$ Show that there exists a unique $0\le \theta <2\pi$ such that $\frac{a}{r}=cos\theta$ and $\frac{b}{r}=sin\theta .$

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
