TopicHyperbolic functions
TypeExpress hyperbolic in exponential form
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 Part (a) requires recognizing that sinh x = (e^x - e^{-x})/2, leading to straightforward exponential integration. Part (b) is a standard partial fractions problem with a quadratic factor, requiring decomposition and arctan integration. Both are textbook techniques for Further Maths, but the 14-mark allocation and combination of hyperbolic functions with partial fractions places this above average difficulty.

a)METHOD 1:

\(I = \left[\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}\sin x\right]_{-2}^0 - \int_{-2}^0\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}\cos x\,dx\)M1, A1 Attempt by parts
\(I = \left[\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}\sin x - \frac{1}{4}e^{2x}\cos x\right]_{-2}^0 + \int_{-2}^0\frac{1}{4}e^{2x}\sinh x\,dx\)A1

\(I = \frac{-0.199599\ldots}{3/4} = -0.266\ldots\)A1
METHOD 2:
Using integration by parts:
\(I = [e^{2x}\cosh x]_{-2}^0 - \int_{-2}^0 2e^{2x}\cosh x\,dx\)(M1), (A1) Attempt by parts
\(I = [e^{2x}\cosh x - 2e^{2x}\sinh x]_{-2}^0 + \int_{-2}^0 4e^{2x}\sinh x\,dx\)(A1)

\(I = \frac{0.798236\ldots}{-3} = -0.266\ldots\)(A1)
METHOD 3:
Using substitution:
\(I = \int_{-2}^0 e^{2x}\left(\frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}\right)dx\)(M1) Substitution of \(\frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}\)
\(I = \frac{1}{2}\int_{-2}^0 (e^{3x} - e^x)dx\)(A1)
\(I = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{1}{3}e^{3x} - e^x\right]_{-2}^0\)(A1) Both terms
\(I = \frac{1}{2}\left[\left(\frac{1}{3} - 1\right) - \left(\frac{1}{3}e^{-6} - e^{-2}\right)\right]\)(A1) Correct use of limits
