  1. Starting from the definitions of \(\sinh x\) and \(\cosh x\) in terms of exponentials, prove that $$\cosh ^ { 2 } x - \sinh ^ { 2 } x = 1$$
  2. Solve the equation \(4 \cosh ^ { 2 } x + 9 \sinh x = 13\), giving the answers in exact logarithmic form.
  3. Show that there is only one stationary point on the curve $$y = 4 \cosh ^ { 2 } x + 9 \sinh x$$ and find the \(y\)-coordinate of the stationary point.
  4. Show that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \ln 2 } \left( 4 \cosh ^ { 2 } x + 9 \sinh x \right) \mathrm { d } x = 2 \ln 2 + \frac { 33 } { 8 }\).
