Please see below.

Explanation:

We know the definition of Hyperbolic Function :

#color(green)(tanh(theta)=(e^theta-e^-theta)/(e^theta+e^-theta)#

We have to verify :

#tanh(x+y)=(tanh(x)+tanh(y))/(1+tanh(x)tanh(y)#

Let us take , LHS first.

#LHS=tanh(x+y)#

#LHS=(e^(x+y) -e^(-(x+y) ))/(e^(x+y) +e^(-(x+y) ))to(1)#

Now ,we take RHS:

#RHS=(tanh(x)+tanh(y))/(1+tanh(x)tanh(y)#

#RHS=((e^x-e^-x)/(e^x+e^-x)+(e^y-e^-y)/(e^y+e^-y))/(1+(e^x-e^-x)/(e^x+e^-x)*(e^y-e^-y)/(e^y+e^-y)#

#={(e^xe^y+color(red)(e^xe^-y)color(blue)(-e^-xe^y)-e^-xe^-y+e^xe^ycolor(red)(-e^xe^-y)color(blue)(+e^-xe^y)-e^-xe^-y)}/{(e^xe^ycolor(red)(+e^xe^-y)color(blue)(+e^-xe^y)+e^-xe^-y+e^xe^ycolor(red)(-e^xe^-y)color(blue)(-e^-xe^y)+e^-xe^-y)}#

Canceling the Red and Blue term:

#RHS=(2(e^xe^y-e^-xe^-y))/(2(e^xe^y+e^-xe^-y)#

#RHS=(e^(x+y)-e^(-(x+y)))/(e^(x+y)+e^(-(x+y)))to(2)#

From #(1) and (2)#

#RHS=LHS#
