AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses the mathematical proof of the identity $$\sinh \left( \tanh^{-1} (x) \right) = \frac{x}{ \sqrt{1-x^2}}$$. It begins by recalling the definition of the hyperbolic sine function and the inverse hyperbolic tangent function. The proof involves substituting the expression for $$\tanh^{-1}(x)$$ into the formula for $$\sinh$$ and simplifying the result. The final step confirms that the left-hand side equals the right-hand side, validating the identity. Additional questions can be directed to the specified math help forum.

Hey Mohammed , We know that :$$\sinh(x) = \frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2}$$

$$\sinh\left( \tanh^{-1} (x) \right) = \frac{e^{\tanh^{-1} (x)}-e^{-\tanh^{-1} (x)}}{2}$$

We know also :

$$\tanh^{-1} (x) = \ln \left( \sqrt{ \frac{1+x}{1-x}} \right)$$

$$\sinh \left( \tanh^{-1} (x) \right) = \frac{ \sqrt{ \frac{1+x}{1-x} }- \sqrt{ \frac{1-x}{1+x} } }{2}$$

$$\sinh \left( \tanh^{-1} (x) \right) = \frac{x}{ \sqrt{1-x^2}}$$

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
