TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeSurface area of revolution with hyperbolics
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths question on hyperbolic functions (cosh x) requiring three routine calculations: mean value (straightforward integration), arc length (using the standard identity 1 + sinh²x = cosh²x), and surface area of revolution (applying the formula with the arc length element). While it involves multiple parts and Further Maths content, each step follows directly from standard techniques without requiring novel insight or complex problem-solving.

9 The curve \(C\) has equation \(y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right)\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \ln 5\). Find
  1. the mean value of \(y\) with respect to \(x\) over the interval \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \ln 5\),
  2. the arc length of \(C\),
  3. the surface area generated when \(C\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.

Answer/WorkingMarks Guidance
\(\text{M.V.} = \frac{\int_0^{\ln 5}\frac{1}{2}(e^x + e^{-x})\,dx}{\ln 5 - 0} = \frac{\left[\frac{1}{2}(e^x - e^{-x})\right]_0^{\ln 5}}{\ln 5}\)M1A1 Uses mean value formula and integrates
\(= \frac{\frac{1}{2}\left(5 - \frac{1}{5}\right)}{\ln 5} = \frac{12}{5\ln 5}\) (= 1.49)M1A1 Substitutes limits and evaluates
Part (ii):

Answer/WorkingMarks Guidance
\(y' = \frac{1}{2}(e^x - e^{-x}) \Rightarrow 1 + (y')^2 = \left\{\frac{1}{2}(e^x + e^{-x})\right\}^2\)M1A1 Differentiates and finds \(1+(y')^2\)
\(s = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\ln 5}(e^x + e^{-x})\,dx = \frac{1}{2}\left[e^x - e^{-x}\right]_0^{\ln 5}\)M1A1 Integrates and obtains result

\(S = 2\pi\int_0^{\ln 5}\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})\cdot\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})\,dx\)M1 Uses surface area formula

\(= \frac{\pi}{2}\left[\frac{e^{2x}}{2} + 2x - \frac{e^{-2x}}{2}\right]_0^{\ln 5}\)
