  1. Find \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 9 x ^ { 2 } + 16 } } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer in an exact logarithmic form.
    1. Starting from the definitions of \(\sinh x\) and \(\cosh x\) in terms of exponentials, prove that \(\sinh 2 x = 2 \sinh x \cosh x\).
    2. Show that one of the stationary points on the curve $$y = 20 \cosh x - 3 \cosh 2 x$$ has coordinates \(\left( \ln 3 , \frac { 59 } { 3 } \right)\), and find the coordinates of the other two stationary points.
    3. Show that \(\int _ { - \ln 3 } ^ { \ln 3 } ( 20 \cosh x - 3 \cosh 2 x ) \mathrm { d } x = 40\).
