Each of Exercises $1-4$ gives a value of sinh $x$ or cosh $x$ . Use the definitions and the identity cosh $^{2} x-\sinh ^{2} x=1$ to find the values of the remaining five hyperbolic functions.
$$\sin x=-\frac{3}{4}$$

Prove the identities
$\begin{aligned} \sinh (x+y) &=\sinh x \cosh y+\cosh x \sinh y \\ \cosh (x+y) &=\cosh x \cosh y+\sinh x \sinh y \end{aligned}$
Then use them to show that
a. \sinh 2 x=2 \sinh x \cosh x
b. \cosh 2 x=\cosh ^{2} x+\sinh ^{2} x
