Math Problem Statement
We are tasked to calculate \(\cosh(x)\), \(\text{sech}(x)\), \(\text{csch}(x)\), and \(\tanh(x)\) given that \(\sinh(x) = \frac{1}{3}\).
Solution
We are tasked to calculate cosh(x), sech(x), csch(x), and tanh(x) given that sinh(x)=31.
Step 1: Relation between sinh(x) and cosh(x)
From the hyperbolic identity:
cosh2(x)−sinh2(x)=1
Substituting sinh(x)=31:
cosh2(x)−(31)2=1
cosh2(x)−91=1
cosh2(x)=1+91=910
cosh(x)=910=310
Step 2: Calculate the other hyperbolic functions
(a) sech(x):
sech(x)=cosh(x)1
Substituting cosh(x)=310:
sech(x)=3101=103=10310
(b) csch(x):
csch(x)=sinh(x)1
Substituting sinh(x)=31:
csch(x)=311=3
(c) tanh(x):
tanh(x)=cosh(x)sinh(x)
Substituting sinh(x)=31 and cosh(x)=310:
tanh(x)=31031=101=1010
Final Answers:
- cosh(x)=310
- sech(x)=10310
- csch(x)=3
- tanh(x)=1010
