<p>I'm self-studying for Calc BC. My teacher said we need to know the hyperbolic functions (hsinx,hcosx, etc.) but on the CB course outline, it doesn't say anything about them. Do I need to know them or not?</p>
<p>no u don't....my teacher never taught it</p>
<p>Thanks .</p>
<p>yea you dont need to know hyperbolic functions for BC
they come up later though in multi variable and diff eq</p>
<p>No, but you might as well know them (or at least their definitions), they're pretty easy.</p>
<p>Just make sure you don't get the differentiation rules for hyperbolics confused with the differentiation rules for trig functions.</p>
<p>or just dont learn them until you have to. which won't be for the bc exam</p>
<p>how are you guys studying BC? PR, Barrons, textbook?</p>
<p>practice tests + PR</p>
<p>peterson's. ap calc ab and bc book by mike kelley. best calc prep book out there</p>
<p>nope you don't need to know hyperbolic. we barely touched hyperbolic function is Calc III!!!</p>
