  1. Show that \(\operatorname { arcosh } x = \ln \left( x + \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } \right)\).
  2. Find \(\int _ { 2.5 } ^ { 3.9 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 4 x ^ { 2 } - 9 } } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer in the form \(a \ln b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are rational numbers.
  3. There are two points on the curve \(y = \frac { \cosh x } { 2 + \sinh x }\) at which the gradient is \(\frac { 1 } { 9 }\). Show that one of these points is \(\left( \ln ( 1 + \sqrt { 2 } ) , \frac { 1 } { 3 } \sqrt { 2 } \right)\), and find the coordinates of the other point, in a similar form.
