Explanation:
Using the quotient rule and the sum rule along with the following:
d/dxe^x = e^x d/dxe^-x = -e^-x a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
we have
=[(e^x+e^-x)(d/dx(e^x-e^-x))-(e^x-e^-x)(d/dx(e^x+e^-x))]/(e^x+e^-x)^2
=((e^x+e^-x)(e^x+e^-x)-(e^x-e^-x)(e^x-e^-x))/(e^x+e^-x)^2
=((e^x+e^-x)^2-(e^x-e^-x)^2)/(e^x+e^-x)^2
=([(e^x+e^-x)+(e^x-e^-x)][(e^x+e^-x)-(e^x-e^-x)])/(e^x+e^-x)^2
=((2e^x)(2e^-x))/(e^x+e^-x)^2
=4/(e^x+e^-x)^2
