Proving Inverse Hyperbolic Function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a request for a step-by-step proof of the inverse hyperbolic function, specifically cosh^(-1)(A/x) = (x√(x² + A))/2A. The original poster expresses difficulty in manipulating the equation despite reviewing relevant resources. Other participants suggest using logarithmic identities and hyperbolic function properties to assist with the proof. However, the original poster remains stuck on the manipulation process and seeks further clarification. The conversation highlights the challenges of understanding inverse hyperbolic functions and the need for clearer guidance in mathematical proofs.

Can someone please do a step by step proof for this or send me a link to a step by step webpage.

Thank you very much

Cosh^(-1 ) A/x=( x √(X^( 2 )+A ))/2a





my attempt=>
Cosh^(-1 ) = y

A/x = Cosh^(-1 )

A/x = Sechy
A/x= (2/(e^2 + e^-2))

Thank you , but I have looked at both of those websites.

Im having problems with the manipulation
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
