Solution
Hint:-In this problem firstly you have to define coshx and sinhx in terms of exponential function ex. Then you have to apply various operations addition, subtraction, squaring of obtained expressions to get the required result or to simplify the given expression.
Complete step by step answer:
Now we know that
The hyperbolic functions have similar names to the trigonometric functions, but they are defined in terms of the exponential function. The hyperbolic functions coshx and sinhx are defined using the exponential function exas:
coshx=2ex+e−x eq.1 and sinhx=2ex−e−x eq.2 adding eq.1 and eq.2 we get coshx+sinhx=2ex+e−x + 2ex−e−x ⇒coshx+sinhx=ex eq.3 subtracting eq.2 from eq.1, we get coshx+sinhx=2ex+e−x − 2ex−e−x ⇒coshx−sinhx=e−x eq.4 On squaring the eq.3 and eq.4,we get ⇒ (coshx+sinhx)2=e2x eq.5 ⇒ (coshx−sinhx)2=e−2x eq.6 add eq.5 and eq.6, we get ⇒ (coshx+sinhx)2+(coshx−sinhx)2=e2x+e−2x On further solving the above equation, we get ⇒2(cos2hx+sin2hx)=e2x+e−2x ∴ cos2hx + sin2hx = 1 ⇒(cos2hx+sin2hx)=2e2x+e−2x ∴ cosh2x = 2e2x+e−2x ⇒(cos2hx+sin2hx)=cosh2x eq.7
Hence proved,
coshx+sinhx=ex {∴from eq.3}
cos2hx−sin2hx=cosh2x. {∴from eq.7}
And simplification of coshx−sinhx=e−x {∴from eq.4}
Note:- Whenever you get this type of problem the key concept of solving is that you have knowledge about hyperbolic function. There are two base equation from which all other results will be derived are coshx=2ex+e−x and sinhx=2ex−e−x .Then by simple operation like squaring , addition , subtraction you can obtained the desired result. And one more thing to be remembered that hyperbolic functions are different from trigonometric functions.
