Answer

\[\sinh (x+y)=\sinh x\,\cosh y+\cosh x\,\sinh y\]

Work Step by Step

To show that:-\[\sinh (x+y)=\sinh x\,\cosh y+\cosh x\,\sinh y\] We know that \[\sinh x=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\;\;\;...(1)\] and \[\cos hx=\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}\;\;\;...(3)\] Using (1) \[\Rightarrow \sinh (x+y)=\frac{e^{(x+y)}-e^{-(x+y)}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \sinh (x+y)=\frac{e^xe^y-e^{-x}e^{-y}}{2}\;\;\;...(4)\] Consider \[I=\sinh x\,\cosh y+\cosh x\,\sinh y\] Using (2) and (3) \[I=\left(\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{e^y+e^{-y}}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{e^y-e^{-y}}{2}\right)\] \[I=\frac{e^{x}e^{y}+e^{x}e^{-y}-e^{-x}e^{y}-e^{-x}e^{-y}}{4}+\frac{e^{x}e^{y}-e^{x}e^{-y}+e^{-x}e^{y}-e^{-x}e^{-y}}{4}\] \[I=\frac{2(e^xe^y-e^{-x}e^{-y})}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow I=\frac{e^xe^y-e^{-x}e^{-y}}{2}\;\;\;...(5)\] Using (4) and (5) \[\sinh (x+y)=I\] Hence , \[\sinh (x+y)=\sinh x\,\cosh y+\cosh x\,\sinh y\]
