TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeSketch graphs of hyperbolic functions
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a Further Maths question requiring knowledge of hyperbolic functions and their inverses. Part (i) tests graph sketching and properties (moderate), part (ii) requires integration of tanh x (standard technique), but part (iii) demands geometric insight to use the area relationship between a function and its inverse, then apply it correctly—this elevates it above routine Further Maths exercises.

  1. Sketch the graph of \(y = \tanh x\) and state the value of the gradient when \(x = 0\). On the same axes, sketch the graph of \(y = \tanh ^ { - 1 } x\). Label each curve and give the equations of the asymptotes.
  2. Find \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { k } \tanh x \mathrm {~d} x\), where \(k > 0\).
  3. Deduce, or show otherwise, that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \tanh k } \tanh ^ { - 1 } x \mathrm {~d} x = k \tanh k - \ln ( \cosh k )\).

Answer/WorkingMark Guidance
\(u = \tanh^{-1}x,\quad dv = dx\)M1 For integrating by parts (correct way round)
\(du = \frac{1}{1-x^2}dx,\quad v = x\)

M1Dealing with the resulting integral
\(= k\tanh k + \frac{1}{2}\left[\ln(1-x^2)\right]_0^{\tanh k}\)

\(= k\tanh k + \frac{1}{2}\ln(\text{sech}^2 k)\)A1
\(= k\tanh k + \ln(\text{sech}\, k)\)
Part (iii) Alternative Method 2 (By substitution):
AnswerMarks Guidance
Answer/WorkingMark Guidance
Let \(y = \tanh^{-1}x \Rightarrow x = \tanh y \Rightarrow dx = \text{sech}^2 y\,dy\)M1 For substitution to obtain equivalent integral
When \(x=0,\, y=0\); when \(x = \tanh k,\, y = k\)
\(\Rightarrow I = \int_0^{\tanh k}\tanh^{-1}x\,dx = \int_0^k y\,\text{sech}^2 y\,dy\)A1 Correct so far
\(u = y,\quad dv = \text{sech}^2 y\,dy;\quad du = dy,\quad v = \tanh y\)M1 For integration by parts (correct way round)
\(\Rightarrow I = \left[y\tanh y\right]_0^k - \int_0^k \tanh y\,dy\)
\(= k\tanh k - \ln\cosh k\)A1 Final answer
