Answer:
a) d(sinh(f(x)))/dx = cosh(f(x))·df(x)/dx
b) d(cosh(f(x))/dx = sinh(f(x))·df(x)/dx
c) d(tanh(f(x))/dx = sech(f(x))²·df(x)/dx
d) d(sech(4x+2))/dx = -4sech(4x+2)tanh(4x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To do these, you need to be familiar with the derivatives of hyperbolic functions and with the chain rule.
The chain rule tells you that ...
(f(g(x)))' = f'(g(x))g'(x) . . . . where the prime indicates the derivative
The attached table tells you the derivatives of the hyperbolic trig functions, so you can answer the first three easily.
__
a) sinh(u)' = sinh'(u)·u' = cosh(u)·u'
For u = f(x), this becomes ...
sinh(f(x))' = cosh(f(x))·f'(x)
__
b) After the same pattern as in (a), ...
cosh(f(x))' = sinh(f(x))·f'(x)
__
c) Similarly, ...
tanh(f(x))' = sech(f(x))²·f'(x)
__
d) For this one, we need the derivative of sech(x) = 1/cosh(x). The power rule applies, so we have ...
sech(x)' = (cosh(x)^-1)' = -1/cosh(x)²·cosh'(x) = -sinh(x)/cosh(x)²
sech(x)' = -sech(x)·tanh(x) . . . . . basic formula
Now, we will use this as above.
sech(4x+2)' = -sech(4x+2)·tanh(4x+2)·(4x+2)'
sech(4x+2)' = -4·sech(4x+2)·tanh(4x+2)

Here we have used the "prime" notation rather than d( )/dx to indicate the derivative with respect to x. You need to use the notation expected by your grader.

<em>Additional comment on notation</em>
Some places we have used fun(x)' and others we have used fun'(x). These are essentially interchangeable when the argument is x. When the argument is some function of x, we mean fun(u)' to be the derivative of the function after it has been evaluated with u as an argument. We mean fun'(u) to be the derivative of the function, which is then evaluated with u as an argument. This distinction makes it possible to write the chain rule as ...
f(u)' = f'(u)u'
without getting involved in infinite recursion.
Problem 215
Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.
We have this mapping:
A <--> C
B <--> D
C <--> E
This means...
Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)
Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)
Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)
It also means...
Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)
Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)
Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)
Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

Problem 216
Answer: True
Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.
