Proof of inequality involving circular and hyperbolic trig. functions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving the inequality \( |\sinh(y)| \le |\sin(z)| \le |\cosh(y)| \) for complex variable \( z = x + iy \). The user derives the expression for \( |\sin(z)| \) as \( \sqrt{(\sin(x)\cosh(y))^2 + (\sinh(y)\cos(x))^2} \), simplifying it to \( \sqrt{2\sinh^2(y) + 1} \). The proof is established by comparing \( |\sinh(y)| \) and \( |\cosh(y)| \) with the derived expression, confirming the inequality holds true.

PREREQUISITES
  • Complex analysis, specifically understanding complex functions.
  • Knowledge of hyperbolic and circular trigonometric functions.
  • Familiarity with inequalities in mathematical proofs.

Hi guys,

Can you help me I am stuck:

By finding the real and imaginary parts of z prove that,
$$|\sinh(y)|\le|\sin(z)|\le|\cosh(y)|$$


i have tried the following:

Let $$z=x+iy$$,
then $$\sin(z)=sin(x+iy)=\sin(x)\cosh(y)+i\sinh(y)\cos(x)$$

$$|\sin(z)|=\sqrt{(\sin(x)\cosh(y))^2+(\sinh(y) \cos(x))^2}=\sqrt{2\cosh(y)^2-1}=\sqrt{2\sinh(y)^2+1}$$

And now i am stuck here.

Well notice that \displaystyle \begin{align*} \left| \sinh{(y)} \right| = \sqrt{ \sinh^2{(y)}} \end{align*}, which is clearly \displaystyle \begin{align*} \leq \sqrt{ 2\sinh^2{(y)} + 1 } \end{align*}.
