Exam questions on Hyperbolic functions and their graphs

  1. Let x=ln⁡3x=\ln3.
    Hence, or otherwise, find the value of cosh⁡x+sinh⁡x\cosh x+\sinh x.2 marks
  2. The functions ff, gg and hh are defined for all real xx by f(x)=sinh⁡xf(x)=\sinh x, g(x)=cosh⁡xg(x)=\cosh x and h(x)=tanh⁡xh(x)=\tanh x.
    Explain why the equation g(x)=12g(x)=\frac12 has no real solutions.2 marks
  3. The equation cosh⁡x=1312\cosh x=\frac{13}{12} has two real solutions.
    Use the definition of cosh⁡x\cosh x to show that 6e2x−13ex+6=06e^{2x}-13e^x+6=0.3 marks
