    trigonometric and hyperbolic identities
    use trigonometric and hyperbolic identities to solve and simplify the following:

    4sin^2 theta +5cos theta =5
    3tan^2 theta+5=7sec theta
    prove that cosh^2x-sinh^2x=1
    prove that sinh2x=2sinhxcoshx

    any help with this would be much appreciated

    thanks

    1. Use the pythagorean identity,

    You may use a substitution like cos A = x, then solve like a quadratic, plug back the trig function and solve for the angle.

    2. Use another identity here. and proceed with the same method as above.

    Sorry, I have not yet done hyperbolic identities. :(

    Well, it's just like a substitution.

    Ok, I'll show you the first one:





    I'll use those two.





    Are you okay with that?
    If yes, then watch this:



    Did you see? I replaced the sin^2 theta by the identity that I derived from the Pythagorean identity.

    Now, expand;



    Simplify;



    As I told you before, make use of a substitution, so as not to confuse yourself. Say, cos theta = x.



    I'm keeping the terms I just substituted in brackets for you to see them.
    Then solve like a quadratic. I guess you can do that. You'll have then:

    4x - 1 = 0
    x = 0.25

    and

    x - 1 = 0
    x = 1

    From those two, replace them by the initial trigonometric ratio:

    and

    It's simple then. Grab your calculator, find the corresponding two values for each equation.

    You should have: x = 0, 60, 300 or 360 (for x between 0 and 360 degrees inclusive)

    These can be proved by simply substituting for the definitions of cosh(x) and sinh(x):



    So, for example:



    you can take it from here. The last proof can demonstrated using the same technique.
