TopicParametric integration
TypeParametric surface area of revolution
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths parametric surface area question requiring the formula S = 2π∫y√((dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²)dt, differentiation of hyperbolic-type expressions, and a guided substitution. While it involves multiple steps and careful algebra with exponentials, the structure is routine for FP1 and the substitution is provided, making it moderately above average difficulty but not requiring novel insight.

5 A curve \(C\) is defined parametrically by $$x = \frac { 2 } { \mathrm { e } ^ { t } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } } \quad \text { and } \quad y = \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { t } - \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { t } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } }$$ for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 1\). The area of the surface generated when \(C\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis is denoted by \(S\).
  1. Show that \(S = 4 \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { t } - \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } } { \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { t } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } \right) ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t\).
  2. Using the substitution \(u = \mathrm { e } ^ { t } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - t }\), or otherwise, find \(S\) in terms of \(\pi\) and e .
