TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeArc length with hyperbolic curves
DifficultyChallenging +1.3 This is a standard arc length problem with hyperbolic substitution. Part (a) requires setting up the arc length formula from y² = 8x (routine differentiation and algebraic manipulation). Part (b) uses a given substitution y = 4sinh u which directly simplifies the integrand to 4cosh u, then requires knowledge of standard hyperbolic identities and integration formulas. While it involves Further Maths content (hyperbolic functions), the question follows a predictable template with clear guidance, making it moderately above average difficulty but not requiring novel insight.

  1. In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Show that the perimeter of \(R\) is given by $$\alpha + 2 \int _ { 0 } ^ { \beta } \sqrt { 1 + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 16 } } d y$$ where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants to be determined.
  2. Use the substitution \(y = 4 \sinh u\) and algebraic integration to determine the exact perimeter of \(R\), giving your answer in simplest form.
