Question

(a) Determine x(t) and y(t) a pair of parametric equations for the graph of y = cosh x.

(b) Calculate dy/dx using the parametric equations from above.

(c) Set up but do not solve the integral to calculate the arc length (s) of the curve between
x = −1 and x = 1.

(d) Estimate the arc length s from the question above using a Riemman Sum with n = 20
and midpoints. Please show work.

Below you can see a "string" hanging between the two points i.e. a caternary-the graph of cosh x.

The hyperbolic cosine i.e. cosh x is the even part of the exponential function and is defined as
et + e-
1+e-2x
cosh x

2e-x
It is closely related to the hyperbolic sine i.e. sinh x which is the odd part of the exponential function
and is defined as
et
sinh x =
1- e-2
