Answer

\[\frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=e^{2x}\]

Work Step by Step

To show that :- \[\frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=e^{2x}\] We know that \[\sinh x=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\;\;\;...(1)\] and \[\cosh x=\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}\;\;\;...(2)\] \[\tanh x=\frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x}\] Using (1) and (2) \[\tanh x=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}\;\;\;...(3)\] Consider \[\frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}\] Using (3) \[\frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=\frac{1+\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}}{1-\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=\frac{(e^x+e^{-x})+(e^x-e^{-x})}{(e^x+e^{-x})-(e^x-e^{-x})}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=\frac{2e^x}{2e^{-x}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=e^{2x}\] Hence, \[\frac{1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}=e^{2x}\]
