TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeIntegrate using hyperbolic substitution
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This is a challenging Further Maths question requiring hyperbolic substitution (non-standard technique), manipulation of hyperbolic identities, and careful handling of limits. Part (i) demands technical skill with a sophisticated substitution; part (ii) requires exact evaluation; part (iii) tests conceptual understanding of improper integrals. The multi-step nature and advanced topic place it well above average difficulty, though it follows a structured path once the substitution is executed correctly.

  1. Use the substitution \(x = \cosh ^ { 2 } u\) to find \(\int \sqrt { \frac { x } { x - 1 } } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer in the form \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) + \ln ( \mathrm { g } ( x ) )\). \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{d25d17c4-a87c-4dcf-900c-400086af6610-3_693_1041_927_593}
  2. Hence calculate the exact area of the region between the curve \(y = \sqrt { \frac { x } { x - 1 } }\), the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 4\) (see diagram).
  3. What can you say about the volume of the solid of revolution obtained when the region defined in part (ii) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis? Justify your answer.
