Derivatives of Hyperbolic Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine the derivatives of composite functions using the chain rule. It provides two examples: one involving the hyperbolic tangent function and another with the hyperbolic cosine function. The tutorial breaks down each step, showing how to identify the inner function and apply the chain rule to find the derivative. The first example focuses on f(x) = 4 tanh(3x), while the second example deals with f(x) = (cosh(6x))^4. The video concludes with a summary of the methods used.
