| Topic | Hyperbolic functions |
| Type | Prove inverse hyperbolic logarithmic form |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.8 This is a structured multi-part question on hyperbolic functions requiring several standard techniques (identity manipulation, implicit differentiation, integration by partial fractions, substitution, and integration by parts). While it covers Further Maths content and requires careful algebraic manipulation across five parts, each individual step follows established methods without requiring novel insight. The question is moderately challenging but well-scaffolded, placing it somewhat above average difficulty. |

4 (i) Starting with the relationship $\cosh ^ { 2 } t - \sinh ^ { 2 } t = 1$, deduce a relationship between $\tanh ^ { 2 } t$ and $\operatorname { sech } ^ { 2 } t$.
You are given that $y = \operatorname { artanh } x$.\\
(ii) Show that $\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 } { 1 - x ^ { 2 } }$.\\
