    If \[{{e}^{x}}=y+\sqrt{1+{{y}^{2}}}\], then y = [MNR 1990, UPSEAT 2000]

    A)            \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}}{2}\]

    B)            \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}}{2}\]

    C)            \[{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}\]

    D)            \[{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\because \ {{e}^{x}}=y+\sqrt{1+{{y}^{2}}}\]                    \\[{{e}^{x}}-y=\sqrt{1+{{y}^{2}}}\]                    Squaring both the sides, \[{{({{e}^{x}}-y)}^{2}}=(1+{{y}^{2}})\]                    \[{{e}^{2x}}+{{y}^{2}}-2y{{e}^{x}}=1+{{y}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{e}^{2x}}-1=2y{{e}^{x}}\]                    Þ \[2y=\frac{{{e}^{2x}}-1}{{{e}^{x}}}\Rightarrow 2y={{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}\]                    Hence, \[y=\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}}{2}\].
