  1. Starting from the definitions of sech and tanh in terms of exponentials, prove that $$1 - \operatorname { sech } ^ { 2 } t = \tanh ^ { 2 } t$$ \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}]{482b2236-1f1b-4c53-a1bc-0277cf63dc62-14_77_1547_360_347} ......................................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................................... . ........................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................ .......................................................................................................................................

  2. Show that \(\frac { d y } { d x } = - 4 \operatorname { sech } ^ { 2 } t\).
  3. Find the coordinates of the point on \(C\) with \(\frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } = - \frac { 9 } { 2 }\), giving your answer in the form \(( a + \ln b , c )\) where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are rational numbers.
    If you use the following page to complete the answer to any question, the question number must be clearly shown.
