We recall that the hyperbolic cosine function, which we denote cosh, is defined, for every real $t$, by $$\cosh(t)=\frac{\mathrm{e}^{t}+\mathrm{e}^{-t}}{2}$$
a) Give the power series expansion of the hyperbolic cosine function and that of the function defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by $t \mapsto \mathrm{e}^{t^{2}/2}$. We will give the radius of convergence of these two power series.
b) Deduce that $\forall t \in \mathbb{R}, \cosh(t) \leqslant \mathrm{e}^{t^{2}/2}$.
