Its the first part that im struggling with i know d/dx of sinhx = coshx >0 but not sure where to go from there

A function is an increasing function is its gradient is positive

How do i show this for sinh x?
Well the derivative of sinh x is cosh x which is always >= 0 and this means it is an increasing function. As for the point of inflection set d/dx and d^2/dx^2 of sinh x = 0 to find the value of x at which the point of inflection is. The last part, use the exponential form to solve for x, which should be simple enough.

It is clear that you lack manners as well as mathematical intelligence.
Good luck kid

Wow immaturity to the max lmao.

His last line was "all the best" before you said "Its clear teeEm wasnt really getting what i was saying". What was the need for that?

There was disrespect. You never thanked him and clearly tried to make a negative contrast between him and the other person helping you.

Anyway, if that's how you handle people helping you, I can only wish you good luck.. Lol

Er no, he was "getting what you were saying" and he gave you a hint to help you. You seemed to expect someone to give you the answer on a plate, which is not what this site is for!

Tbh the question you've posted is a pretty straightforward one once you have the background knowledge, so you shouldn't need to be googling anything provided you've been through the concepts in class (unless you're self-teaching, of course, in which case it would be polite to say so because then we can try to help more by establishing what your current level of knowledge is :smile: )
