TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeSecond derivative relations with hyperbolics
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a parametric differentiation question requiring knowledge of derivatives of inverse trig and hyperbolic functions, followed by second derivative calculation. Part (a) involves straightforward application of dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) with standard derivatives, while part (b) requires the chain rule for d²y/dx². The algebra is moderately involved but follows standard techniques. Slightly above average due to Further Maths content and multi-step calculation, but remains a routine exercise for FM students.

\(\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -1 + \dfrac{1}{1+t^2}\)B1
\(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy}{dt} \times \dfrac{dt}{dx} = \dfrac{\sqrt{1+t^2}+1}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} \times \dfrac{1+t^2}{-t^2}\)M1 Uses chain rule
