7
  1. Using the definitions of hyperbolic functions in terms of exponentials, prove that $$\cosh x \cosh y - \sinh x \sinh y = \cosh ( x - y )$$
  2. Given that \(\cosh x \cosh y = 9\) and \(\sinh x \sinh y = 8\), show that \(x = y\).
  3. Hence find the values of \(x\) and \(y\) which satisfy the equations given in part (ii), giving the answers in logarithmic form.
