Verify the identity.


Take note that hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine are defined by






Applying these formulas to the right side of the equation, it becomes



Multiplying the fractions, the right side turns into



Combining the like terms, it simplifies to





And, express the right side in terms of hyperbolic function again. Applying the definition of hyperbolic sine, the right side transforms to



This verifies that the given equation is an identity.



Therefore,  is an identity.
