Core Pure (A level/Year 2) Unit Test 5: Hyperbolic functions

1 An economist predicts that t years after a company’s appointment of a new


managing director, the number of subscribers to the company’s social media
website S, in millions, will be given by

S = 5 cosh 2t – 3 sinh 2t

a Use calculus to show clearly that the minimum number of subscribers predicted
by the economist is exactly 4 million.
b Justify, by further differentiation, that this value of S is a minimum.

2 a Using the definitions for cosh x and sinh x in terms of exponentials, show that

cosh2 x – sinh2 x = 1

b Find the exact value of x for which

2 tanh x – cosh x = 0

giving your answer as a natural logarithm.

3 The curves C1 and C2 have equations and respectively.


a Sketch the graphs of the curves C1 and C2 on one set of axes, giving the equation
of any asymptote and the exact coordinates of any points where the curves cross
the axes.
b Use algebra to show that the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the
curves C1 and C2 is 5 ln k where k is a rational number to be found.

4 a A function y = artanh x has domain


and range { y ∈ ℝ : y ∈ [0, 1nk ] }
Use the logarithmic form of artanh x to show that k = 5
b Differentiate x artanh 3x with respect to x
c Hence, or otherwise, use algebraic integration to find the exact value of

giving your answer in the form where k is a rational number to be found.


5 a Use the substitution x = 3 cosh u to prove that

b A veterinary science student is investigating how cats respond to being called


and their subsequent movement. The student conducts experiments where
stationary cats are individually called by their owners. As soon as a cat begins to
move, its velocity in m s–1 is modelled by the equation

where t is the time in seconds after the cat is called.


The cat in a first experiment, Harry, begins to move 2 seconds after being called.
i Explain clearly why the model is unsuitable for Harry’s movement. (1 mark)
The cat in a second experiment, Holly, begins to move 3 seconds after being
called. The owner stands 15 m away from Holly’s initial position.
Assuming that Holly moves in a straight line towards her owner,
ii use part a to find, in its simplest form, the exact distance in metres that the
model predicts Holly will be from her owner 5 seconds after being called.
