  1. On separate diagrams, sketch the graphs of \(y = \sinh x\) and \(y = \operatorname { cosech } x\).
  2. Show that \(\operatorname { cosech } x = \frac { 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - 1 }\), and hence, using the substitution \(u = \mathrm { e } ^ { x }\), find \(\int \operatorname { cosech } x \mathrm {~d} x\).

  1. Sketch the graph of \(y = \tanh x\) and state the value of the gradient when \(x = 0\). On the same axes, sketch the graph of \(y = \tanh ^ { - 1 } x\). Label each curve and give the equations of the asymptotes.
  2. Find \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { k } \tanh x \mathrm {~d} x\), where \(k > 0\).
  3. Deduce, or show otherwise, that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \tanh k } \tanh ^ { - 1 } x \mathrm {~d} x = k \tanh k - \ln ( \cosh k )\).

  1. Sketch the graph of \(y = \operatorname { coth } x\), and give the equations of any asymptotes.
  2. It is given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = x \tanh x - 2\). Use the Newton-Raphson method, with a first approximation \(x _ { 1 } = 2\), to find the next three approximations \(x _ { 2 } , x _ { 3 }\) and \(x _ { 4 }\) to a root of \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\). Give the answers correct to 4 decimal places.
  3. If \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\), show that \(\operatorname { coth } x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x\). Hence write down the roots of \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\), correct to 4 decimal places.

  1. On a single diagram, sketch the graphs of \(y = \tanh x\) and \(y = \cosh x - 1\), and use your diagram to explain why the equation \(\text{f}(x) = 0\) has exactly two roots, where $$\text{f}(x) = 1 + \tanh x - \cosh x.$$ [3]
  2. The non-zero root of \(\text{f}(x) = 0\) is \(\alpha\).
    1. Verify that \(1 < \alpha < 1.5\). [1]
    2. Taking \(x_1 = 1.25\) as an initial approximation to \(\alpha\), use the Newton-Raphson iterative method to find \(x_3\), giving your answer to 5 decimal places. [4]
