Cosh(2z) Equals Cosh^2(z) Plus Sinh^2(z)

In summary, cosh(2z)=cosh^2(z)+sinh^2(z) is a hyperbolic function identity that can be shown by comparing it to the similar identity for circular trigonometric functions, cos(2z)=cos^2(z)-sin^2(z). By considering z as a random variable, it can be solved by manipulating the expressions on the right hand side and using standard forms. The solution involves finding the product of two sines and flipping the sign when converting to hyperbolic functions.

Yeah. I tried using the standard form for these expressions, when considering the RHS. I am then left with a quarter e^2z. Could you check this please?

Hmm, I was just considering z as a random variable label, could just as easily be a, theta, or x.
So comparing to cos(2z) == cos2z - sin2z, there is a product of 2 sines, which you flip the sign of when comparing to hyperbolics, so cosh(2z) == cosh2z + sinh2z

Welcome to PF!
Hi Wardlaw!
(try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box)
You should get some e-2z also.

Oh yeah you are correct, my mistake. I can't even read my own working :)
How exactly do you go about solving thi problem?
