..seems like I get stuck on every other problem!

two problems i was assigned were:

1. study f(x)= sinhx - x

which I did and found f(x) to be always increasing and have an inflection point at x = 0

2. prove sinh[sup:chlvlvj6]2[/sup:chlvlvj6](a+b) - sinh[sup:chlvlvj6]2[/sup:chlvlvj6](a-b) = sinh(2a)sinh(2b)

these two problems were supposed to help me in proving cosh(sinhx) < sinh(coshx) for all real numbers x

I don't think rewriting in exponential definitions will help any, and I've thought about it and can't see how problem 2 relates to this? can anyone help?

Actually, while messy, the exponential expansion will lead directly to the result you want! :wink:
