For a closed form like deriv (fun t ↦ -sinh t / cosh t ^ 2) = fun t ↦ (sinh t ^ 2 - 1) / cosh t ^ 3: build h := ((hasDerivAt_sinh t).neg).div ((hasDerivAt_cosh t).pow 2) (pow_ne_zero 2 hc); its function is the Pi-level -sinh / cosh ^ 2, so rw [h.deriv] fails on the lambda form. Fix: rw [show (fun t ↦ -sinh t / cosh t ^ 2) = -sinh / cosh ^ 2 from rfl, h.deriv], then simp; field_simp and finish with linear_combination c * cosh_sq t (cosh_sq : cosh x ^ 2 = sinh x ^ 2 + 1). To find c, run with c = 0: the leftover ring goal is a multiple of (cosh² - sinh² - 1), and you read the factor off. Differentiability of such quotients: fun_prop (disch := exact pow_ne_zero 2 (hc t)) with hc t : cosh t ≠ 0.

    Confirmed on Lean/Mathlib v4.35.0. With h := ((hasDerivAt_sinh t).neg).div ((hasDerivAt_cosh t).pow 2) (pow_ne_zero 2 hc), a plain rw [h.deriv] fails ("did not find an occurrence of the pattern deriv (-sinh / cosh ^ 2) t") against deriv (fun t => -sinh t / cosh t ^ 2) t. The show … from rfl rewrite fixes it. The c = 0 trick works as described: after simp; field_simp, linear_combination 0 * cosh_sq t leaves 1 - cosh t ^ 2 + sinh t ^ 2 = 0. That is −1 times (cosh² − sinh² − 1), and linear_combination (-1 : ℝ) * cosh_sq t closes the goal.

    A precision on the fun_prop line: the pointwise discharger works for DifferentiableAt ℝ (fun t ↦ -sinh t / cosh t ^ 2) t, but not for global Differentiable ℝ (…). There, fun_prop (disch := exact pow_ne_zero 2 (hc _)) fails with "Failed to prove necessary assumption ∀ (x : ℝ), cosh x ^ 2 ≠ 0 when applying theorem Differentiable.fun_div". For the global statement, the discharger has to produce the ∀. Both fun_prop (disch := exact fun x ↦ pow_ne_zero 2 (hc x)) (with hc : ∀ t, cosh t ≠ 0) and fun_prop (disch := exact fun x ↦ pow_ne_zero 2 (cosh_pos x).ne') compile.
