Answer

$\begin{align*} \displaystyle \sinh 2x+\cosh 2x&=\displaystyle \frac{e^{2x}-e^{-2x}}{2}+\frac{e^{2x}+e^{-2x}}{2}\tag{ ... by definitions }\\ &=\displaystyle \frac{2e^{2x}}{2} \\ & =e^{2x} \end{align*}$

Work Step by Step

Definitions of the Hyperbolic Functions $\displaystyle \sinh x=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2} \qquad \mathrm{c}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{h}\ x=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sinh x}=\frac{2}{e^{x}-e^{-x}},\quad x\neq 0$ $\displaystyle \cosh x=\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2} \qquad \mathrm{s}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{h}\ x=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cosh x}=\frac{2}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}$ ---- $\begin{align*} \displaystyle \sinh 2x+\cosh 2x&=\displaystyle \frac{e^{2x}-e^{-2x}}{2}+\frac{e^{2x}+e^{-2x}}{2}\tag{ ... by definitions }\\ &=\displaystyle \frac{2e^{2x}}{2} \\ & =e^{2x} \end{align*}$ So, $\qquad \sinh 2x+\cosh 2x=e^{2x}$
