Step-by-step solution

6 steps

To solve for xx in the given equation, we will use the exponential definitions of cosh⁡x\cosh x and sinh⁡x\sinh x.

The equation is:

2cosh⁡x+3sinh⁡x=32 \cosh x + 3 \sinh x = 3
  1. Substitute the definitions of cosh⁡x\cosh x and sinh⁡x\sinh x.

    Recall that cosh⁡x=ex+e−x2\cosh x = \frac{e^x + e^{-x}}{2} and sinh⁡x=ex−e−x2\sinh x = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}.

    2(ex+e−x2)+3(ex−e−x2)=32 \left(\frac{e^x + e^{-x}}{2}\right) + 3 \left(\frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}\right) = 3
  2. Simplify the equation.

    (ex+e−x)+32(ex−e−x)=3(e^x + e^{-x}) + \frac{3}{2}(e^x - e^{-x}) = 3

    Multiply the entire equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

    2(ex+e−x)+3(ex−e−x)=62(e^x + e^{-x}) + 3(e^x - e^{-x}) = 6
  3. Expand and combine like terms.

    2ex+2e−x+3ex−3e−x=62e^x + 2e^{-x} + 3e^x - 3e^{-x} = 6 (2ex+3ex)+(2e−x−3e−x)=6(2e^x + 3e^x) + (2e^{-x} - 3e^{-x}) = 6 5ex−e−x=65e^x - e^{-x} = 6
  4. Convert the equation into a quadratic form.

    Multiply the entire equation by exe^x to eliminate e−xe^{-x}:

    ex(5ex−e−x)=6exe^x (5e^x - e^{-x}) = 6e^x 5(ex)2−exe−x=6ex5(e^x)^2 - e^x e^{-x} = 6e^x

    Since exe−x=ex−x=e0=1e^x e^{-x} = e^{x-x} = e^0 = 1:

    5(ex)2−1=6ex5(e^x)^2 - 1 = 6e^x

    Rearrange into a standard quadratic form ay2+by+c=0ay^2 + by + c = 0, where y=exy = e^x:

    5(ex)2−6ex−1=05(e^x)^2 - 6e^x - 1 = 0
  5. Solve the quadratic equation for exe^x.

    Let y=exy = e^x. The equation becomes 5y2−6y−1=05y^2 - 6y - 1 = 0.
    Using the quadratic formula y=−b±b2−4ac2ay = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}:

    y=−(−6)±(−6)2−4(5)(−1)2(5)y = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(5)(-1)}}{2(5)} y=6±36+2010y = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 20}}{10} y=6±5610y = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{56}}{10}

    Simplify 56=4×14=214\sqrt{56} = \sqrt{4 \times 14} = 2\sqrt{14}:

    y=6±21410y = \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{14}}{10} y=3±145y = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{14}}{5}
  6. Solve for xx.

    Since y=exy = e^x, we have two possible values for exe^x:

    ex=3+145orex=3−145e^x = \frac{3 + \sqrt{14}}{5} \quad \text{or} \quad e^x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{14}}{5}

    For the second case, 14\sqrt{14} is approximately 3.74. So, 3−143 - \sqrt{14} would be negative. Since exe^x must always be positive, the solution ex=3−145e^x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{14}}{5} is not valid.
    Therefore, we only consider:

    ex=3+145e^x = \frac{3 + \sqrt{14}}{5}

    Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

    ln⁡(ex)=ln⁡(3+145)\ln(e^x) = \ln\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\right) x=ln⁡(3+145)x = \ln\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\right)

    The solution for xx is:
