  1. Saul is solving the equation $$2 \cosh x + \sinh ^ { 2 } x = 1$$ He writes his steps as follows: $$\begin{aligned} 2 \cosh x + \sinh ^ { 2 } x & = 1
    2 \cosh x + 1 - \cosh ^ { 2 } x & = 1
    2 \cosh x - \cosh ^ { 2 } x & = 0
    \cosh x \neq 0 \therefore 2 - \cosh x & = 0
    \cosh x & = 2
    x & = \pm \cosh ^ { - 1 } ( 2 ) \end{aligned}$$ Identify and explain the error in Saul's method. 9
