Answer:

D

Explanation:

(eˣ − e⁻ˣ) / (eˣ + e⁻ˣ) = t

Multiply by eˣ/eˣ.

(e²ˣ − 1) / (e²ˣ + 1) = t

Solve for e²ˣ.

e²ˣ − 1 = (e²ˣ + 1) t

e²ˣ − 1 = e²ˣ t + t

e²ˣ = 1 + e²ˣ t + t

e²ˣ − e²ˣ t = 1 + t

e²ˣ (1 − t) = 1 + t

e²ˣ = (1 + t) / (1 − t)

Solve for x.

2x = ln[(1 + t) / (1 − t)]

x = ½ ln[(1 + t) / (1 − t)]

Use log rule.

x = ln(√[(1 + t) / (1 − t)])
