Proof for hyperbolic trigonometric identities

I've been studying hyperbolic functions and was wondering where the following two identities were derived from:



$$sinh(x) = frace^x-e^-x2$$



$$cosh(x) = frace^x+e^-x2$$



I understand how to use these to prove other identities and I understand how to use Euler's formula to find the identities for $sin(x)$ and $cos(x)$ but I am unable to find any proof for these two. Perhaps I am just unsure what to search for, so if there is a proof somewhere already I would love some directions or links.



Thank you.

The hyperbolic functions are defined as the even and odd parts of $exp x$ so $exppm x=cosh xpmsinh x$, in analogy with $exppm ix=cos xpm isin x$. Rearranging gives the desired results.

    You can't answer this until you have defined the hyperbolic functions !



    One way is via the complex numbers,



    $$isinh x=sin ix,
    \cosh x=cos ix,$$
    giving



    $$sin ix=frace^i^2x-e^-i^2x2i,
    \cos ix=frace^i^2x+e^-i^2x2,$$

    or
    $$sin ix=frace^-x-e^x2i,
    \cos ix=frace^-x+e^x2.$$




    The qualifier hyperbolic comes from the relation



    $$cosh^2x-sinh^2x=1$$ or $$u^2-v^2=1,$$ i.e. an equilateral hyperbola. (Compare to $u^2+v^2=1$.)

      Using the series expansions for $e^x$ and and $e^-x dots$ $$e^x = 1 + dfrac x1! + dfrac x^22! + dfrac x^33! + dfrac x^44! dots$$ $$e^-x = 1 - dfrac x1! + dfrac x^22! - dfrac x^33! + dfrac x^44!dots$$



      We add the first two series to get $$e^x + e^-x = 2 + dfrac 2x^22 + dfrac 2x^44 dots$$ or $$dfrac e^x + e^-x2 = 1 + dfrac x^22! + dfrac x^44! dots$$ As the right side is the series for $cos(x)$, we can define $$dfrac e^x + e^-x2 Leftrightarrow cosh (x)$$



      Subtracting the two series yields $$e^x - e^-x = dfrac 2x1! + dfrac 2x^33! + dfrac 2x^55!dots$$ or $$dfrac e^x - e^-x2 = x + dfrac x^33! + dfrac x^55! dots$$ As the right side is the series for $sin(x)$, we can define $$dfrac e^x - e^-x2 Leftrightarrow sinh (x)$$
