TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeSurface area of revolution with hyperbolics
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Pure 2 surface area of revolution question with hyperbolic functions. Part (a) requires routine differentiation and use of hyperbolic identities (cosh²t - sinh²t = 1). Part (b)(i) applies the standard formula S = 2π∫y√((dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²)dt, and part (b)(ii) involves straightforward integration by substitution (u = cosh t). While it requires knowledge of multiple techniques, each step follows a predictable pattern with no novel insight needed—typical of FP2 exam questions.

4 A curve \(C\) is given parametrically by the equations $$x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \cosh 2 t , \quad y = 2 \sinh t$$
  1. Express $$\left( \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } \right) ^ { 2 } + \left( \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } \right) ^ { 2 }$$ in terms of \(\cosh t\).
  2. The arc of \(C\) from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 1\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
    1. Show that \(S\), the area of the curved surface generated, is given by $$S = 8 \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \sinh t \cosh ^ { 2 } t \mathrm {~d} t$$
