TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeIntegrate using hyperbolic substitution
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths hyperbolic integration question with two parts: (a) requires routine manipulation of exponential definitions of hyperbolic functions, and (b) uses the standard substitution x = 2sinh(u) which is telegraphed by the √(4+x²) form. While requiring multiple steps and knowledge of hyperbolic identities, this follows a well-established template that Further Maths students practice extensively. It's harder than average A-level due to being Further Maths content, but routine within that context.
Spec4.07c Hyperbolic identity: cosh^2(x) - sinh^2(x) = 14.08h Integration: inverse trig/hyperbolic substitutions

  1. Show using exponentials that \(\cosh 2 u = 1 + 2 \sinh ^ { 2 } u\).
  2. Show that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { \sqrt { 4 + x ^ { 2 } } } \mathrm {~d} x = 2 \sqrt { 2 } - 2 \ln ( 1 + \sqrt { 2 } )\).
