原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
Using cosh2x=1+2sinh2x gives 4sinh2x=1. Thus sinhx=±21 and
x===arsinh(±21)ln(±21+1+41)ln(25±1).

也可把双曲函数全写成指数式。令 u=e2x,所得方程是一个二次方程。

The equation becomes
2e2x+e−2x=23(e2x−2+e−2x).
Hence e2x+e−2x=3. With u=e2x>0, we obtain u2−3u+1=0, so
e2x=23±5=(25±1)2.
Taking logarithms gives x=ln(25±1).

Both curves are symmetric about the y-axis. The minimum of C1 is (0,1) and the minimum of C2 is (0,0). Let h=ln(25+1). The curves meet at (−h,23) and (h,23). Since C2−C1 in height is 4sinh2x−1, C2 is lower for ∣x∣<h and higher for ∣x∣>h.
