TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeReduction formulas with hyperbolic integrals
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This is a Further Maths question requiring reduction formula derivation using hyperbolic identities, followed by a non-trivial connection to tanh^(-1) via series summation. The multi-step nature, need for hyperbolic function manipulation (sech²x = 1 - tanh²x), integration by parts or substitution, and the conceptual leap in part (b) place it well above average difficulty but not at the extreme end for FM students.
Spec4.07a Hyperbolic definitions: sinh, cosh, tanh as exponentials4.08a Maclaurin series: find series for function

$$I_n = \int_{0}^{\ln 2} \tanh^{2n} x \, dx, \quad n \geq 0$$
  1. Show that, for \(n \geq 1\) $$I_n = I_{n-1} - \frac{1}{2n-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2n-1}$$ [5]
  2. Hence show that $$\int_{0}^{\ln 2} \tanh^{-1} x \, dx = p + \ln 2$$ where \(p\) is a rational number to be found. [5]
