TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeHyperbola tangent and geometric properties
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a Further Maths hyperbolic functions question requiring standard techniques: finding where y=0 using hyperbolic identities, solving a quadratic in e^t for logarithmic form, and computing dy/dx parametrically for a tangent equation. While Further Maths content is inherently harder, these are routine applications of learned methods without requiring novel geometric insight or complex multi-step reasoning.

12 The diagram shows the curve with parametric equations \(x = 2 \cosh t + \sinh t , y = \cosh t - 2 \sinh t\). \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{83275e7c-7f5a-4f26-b81d-a041e67ac9a2-5_812_808_1283_246}
  1. The curve crosses the positive \(x\)-axis at A .
    1. Determine the value of the parameter \(t\) at A , giving your answer in logarithmic form.
    2. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of A , giving your answer correct to \(\mathbf { 3 }\) significant figures.
  2. The point B has parameter \(t = 0\). Determine the equation of the tangent to the curve at B .
