Trigonometric - hyperbolic
Hi guys,
just to make sure on the method i used on solving the identity attached.Attachment 20234

I first expanded the squared trigonometric functions and tangent, then substituted with j(phi) - converted to cosh and sinh etc. ending with : $1-1-sinh^2\phi /cosh^2\phi =-sinh^2\phi /cosh^2\phi$

2. $\cos(2 i \phi)=\cosh(2\phi)$

Dear trojsi,

You do not need to expand the trignometric functions. Replace $\phi~with~i\phi$ and use, $\cos(i\phi)=\cosh \phi~and~\tan(i\phi)=i\tanh \phi$

The correct identity is, $-\tanh^2\phi=1-\dfrac{\cosh 2\phi}{\cosh^2\phi}$

Hope this helps you.

Thanks a lot, I manage to get it with those identities.
