`e^(2x) = sinh(2x) + cosh(2x)` Verify the identity.

`e^(2x)=sinh(2x)+cosh(2x)`


Take note that hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine are defined as



  • `sinh(u) = (e^u-e^(-u))/2`


  • `cosh(u)=(e^u+e^(-u))/2`

Apply these two formulas to express the right side in exponential form.


`e^(2x)=(e^(2x)-e^(-2x))/2 + (e^(2x)+e^(-2x))/2`


Adding the two fractions, the right side simplifies to


`e^(2x) = (2e^(2x))/2`


`e^(2x)=e^(2x)`


This proves that the given equation is an identity.



Therefore,  `e^(2x)=sinh(2x)+cosh(2x)`  is an identity.

Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800. Why could it be described in this way?

Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 can be called the “Revolution of 1800” because it was the first time in America’s short history that pow...
