TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeExpress hyperbolic in exponential form
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward Further Maths question requiring recall of the exponential definition of sech, followed by a guided substitution that leads directly to a standard integral. The substitution is explicitly given, making this easier than average even for FM students, though the topic itself places it slightly above typical A-level content.
Spec1.08h Integration by substitution4.07a Hyperbolic definitions: sinh, cosh, tanh as exponentials

1 Express sech \(2 x\) in terms of exponentials and hence, by using the substitution \(u = e ^ { 2 x }\), find \(\int \operatorname { sech } 2 x \mathrm {~d} x\).

\(\text{sech}\,2x = \frac{2}{e^{2x}+e^{-2x}}\)B1 For sech\(2x\) expression or equivalent
\(u = e^{2x} \Rightarrow du = 2e^{2x}dx\) or \(x = \frac{1}{2}\ln u \Rightarrow dx = \frac{1}{2u}du\)M1 For differentiating substitution correctly and substituting into *their* integral

| Answer | Marks | Guidance |
|--------|-------|----------|
| $\text{sech}\,2x = \frac{2}{e^{2x}+e^{-2x}}$ | B1 | For sech$2x$ expression or equivalent |
| $u = e^{2x} \Rightarrow du = 2e^{2x}dx$ **or** $x = \frac{1}{2}\ln u \Rightarrow dx = \frac{1}{2u}du$ | M1 | For differentiating substitution correctly and substituting into *their* integral |
| $\Rightarrow I = \int\frac{2}{(e^{2x}+e^{-2x})}\cdot\frac{du}{2e^{2x}}$ | A1 | For correct integral |
| $= \int\frac{1}{u^2+1}\,du$ | | |
| $= \tan^{-1}u\,(+c) = \tan^{-1}(e^{2x})+c$ | M1 | For integration to $\tan^{-1}(\,)$ |
| | A1 | For correct expression ($c$ required) |
