| Topic | Integration using inverse trig and hyperbolic functions |
| Type | Hyperbolic substitution to evaluate integral |
| Difficulty | Challenging +1.2 This is a structured Further Maths question requiring hyperbolic substitution (x = cosh u) and integration by parts, but follows standard techniques taught in CP1. Part (a) is a guided proof of a standard integral result, and part (b) applies it with integration by parts in a straightforward manner. The multi-step nature and hyperbolic functions place it above average difficulty, but the clear guidance and standard methods prevent it from being truly challenging. |

Notes:
(a)
M1: Uses the substitution x = c o s h u fully to achieve an integral in terms of u only. Must have
replaced the dx but allow if the du is missing.
A1: Correct integral in terms of u. (Allow if the du is missing.)
M1: Uses correct identities c o s h 2 u − 1 = s i n h 2 u and c o s h 2 u = 2 c o s h 2 u − 1 to achieve an
integrand of the required form
M1: Integrates to achieve the correct form, may be sign errors.
M1: Uses the identities s i n h 2 u = 2 s i n h u c o s h u and c o s h 2 u − 1 = s i n h 2 u to attempt to find
sinh2 u in terms of x. If using exponentials there must be a full and complete method to attempt the
correct form.
A1*: Achieves the printed answer with no errors seen, cso
NB attempts at integration by parts are not likely to make progress – to do so would need to split the
x
integrand as x . If you see any attempts that you feel merit credit, use review.
x 2 − 1
(b)
M1: Uses integration by parts the correct way around to achieve the required form.
A1: Correct integration by parts
B1ft: Deduces the integral by using the result from part (a). Follow through on their ‘uv’
dM1: Dependent on previous method mark. Uses the limits x = 1 and x = 3 the correct way around
and subtracts
A1*cso: Achieves the printed answer with at least one intermediate step showing the evaluation of
the arcosh 3, and no errors seen.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Use a hyperbolic substitution and calculus to show that
$$\int \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2 - 1}} dx = \frac{1}{2}\left[x\sqrt{x^2 - 1} + \text{arcosh } x\right] + k$$
where $k$ is an arbitrary constant.

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve $C$ with equation
$$y = \frac{4}{15}x \text{ arcosh } x \quad x \geq 1$$
The finite region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve $C$, the $x$-axis and the line with equation $x = 3$
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\setcounter{enumii}{1}
\item Using algebraic integration and the result from part (a), show that the area of $R$ is given by
$$\frac{1}{15}\left[17\ln\left(3 + 2\sqrt{2}\right) - 6\sqrt{2}\right]$$
