Answer

$$\sinh \left(\cosh ^{-1} t\right)=\sqrt{t^{2}-1} \quad \text { for } t \geq 1$$

Work Step by Step

Let $ x=\cosh^{-1}t\ \to \ t=\cosh x$, then \begin{align*} \sinh^2 \left(\cosh ^{-1} t\right)&= \sinh^2x\\ &= \cosh^2 x-1\\ \sinh \left(\cosh ^{-1} t\right)&= \sqrt{\cosh^2 x-1}\\ &=\sqrt{t^2-1},\ \ \ \ \ t\geq 1 \end{align*} Hence, verified.
