| Topic | Hyperbolic functions |
| Type | Differentiate inverse hyperbolic functions |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.8 This is a Further Maths question requiring proof of a derivative from logarithmic form, integration by parts, and understanding of domain restrictions. Part (a) requires manipulating the logarithmic definition and differentiating; part (b) needs integration by parts with the derived result; part (c) tests conceptual understanding. While systematic, it demands multiple sophisticated techniques and careful algebraic manipulation beyond standard A-level. |

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Using the logarithmic form of $\operatorname { arcosh } x$, prove that the derivative of $\operatorname { arcosh } x$ is $\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } }$.
\item Hence find $\int _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \operatorname { arcosh } x \mathrm {~d} x$, giving your answer in exact logarithmic form.
\item Ali tries to evaluate $\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \operatorname { arcosh } x \mathrm {~d} x$ using his calculator, and gets an 'error'. Explain why.
