Question 1
2 markseasy
Find the exact value of sinh(ln(2))\sinh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the expression to be evaluated

    sinh(ln(2))\sinh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}

    Start from the expression given in the question.

  2. Quote the exponential definition

    sinh(x)=exex2\sinh(x)=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2}

    Every hyperbolic function is defined directly in terms of exe^{x}.

  3. State the exact value

    sinh(ln(2))=34\sinh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}=\frac{3}{4}

    This is the exact value of the expression.

Answer
34\frac{3}{4}
Question 2
2 markseasy
Find the exact value of cosh(ln(3))\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the expression to be evaluated

    cosh(ln(3))\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}

    Start from the expression given in the question.

  2. Quote the exponential definition

    cosh(x)=ex+ex2\cosh(x)=\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2}

    Every hyperbolic function is defined directly in terms of exe^{x}.

  3. Substitute the argument into the definition

    cosh(ln(3))=eln(3)+eln(3)2\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}=\frac{e^{\ln{\left(3\right)}}+e^{-\ln{\left(3\right)}}}{2}

    Replace xx by the argument given in the question.

  4. State the exact value

    cosh(ln(3))=53\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}=\frac{5}{3}

    This is the exact value of the expression.

Answer
53\frac{5}{3}
Question 3
2 markseasy
Find the exact value of tanh(ln(2))\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the expression to be evaluated

    tanh(ln(2))\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}

    Start from the expression given in the question.

  2. Quote the exponential definition

    tanh(x)=exexex+ex\tanh(x)=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}

    Every hyperbolic function is defined directly in terms of exe^{x}.

  3. State the exact value

    tanh(ln(2))=35\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(2\right)}\right)}=\frac{3}{5}

    This is the exact value of the expression.

Answer
35\frac{3}{5}
Question 4
2 markseasy
Find the exact value of cosh(ln(5))\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(5\right)}\right)}.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the expression to be evaluated

    cosh(ln(5))\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(5\right)}\right)}

    Start from the expression given in the question.

  2. Quote the exponential definition

    cosh(x)=ex+ex2\cosh(x)=\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2}

    Every hyperbolic function is defined directly in terms of exe^{x}.

  3. State the exact value

    cosh(ln(5))=135\cosh{\left(\ln{\left(5\right)}\right)}=\frac{13}{5}

    This is the exact value of the expression.

Answer
135\frac{13}{5}
Question 5
2 markseasy
Find the exact value of tanh(ln(3))\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the expression to be evaluated

    tanh(ln(3))\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}

    Start from the expression given in the question.

  2. Quote the exponential definition

    tanh(x)=exexex+ex\tanh(x)=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}

    Every hyperbolic function is defined directly in terms of exe^{x}.

  3. Substitute the argument into the definition

    tanh(ln(3))=eln(3)eln(3)eln(3)+eln(3)\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}=\frac{e^{\ln{\left(3\right)}}-e^{-\ln{\left(3\right)}}}{e^{\ln{\left(3\right)}}+e^{-\ln{\left(3\right)}}}

    Replace xx by the argument given in the question.

  4. State the exact value

    tanh(ln(3))=45\tanh{\left(\ln{\left(3\right)}\right)}=\frac{4}{5}

    This is the exact value of the expression.

Answer
45\frac{4}{5}
