4. The curve \(C\) has equation $$y = \operatorname { arsinh } x + x \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } + 1 } , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1$$
  1. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 2 \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } + 1 }\)
  2. Hence show that the length of the curve \(C\) is given by $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \sqrt { 4 x ^ { 2 } + 5 } d x$$
  3. Using the substitution \(x = \frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 2 } \sinh u\), find the exact length of the curve \(C\), giving your answer in the form \(a + b \ln c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants to be found.
