find the derivative of the function. \(f(x)=\frac{\sinh x}{1+\cosh x} \quad\) 40. \(g(x)=\frac{\sinh x}{x}\)
The minimum-surface-of-revolution problem may be stated as follows: Of all curves joining two fixed points, find the one that, when revolved about the \(x\) -axis, will generate a surface of minimum area. It can be shown that the solution to the problem is a catenary. The resulting surface of revolution is called a catenoid. Suppose a catenary described by the equation $$ y=\cosh x \quad a \leq x \leq b $$ is revolved about the \(x\) -axis. Find the surface area of the resulting catenoid.
(a) plot the graph of the function \(f\). (b) write an integral giving the arc length of the graph of the function over the indicated interval, and (c) find the arc length of the curve accurate to four decimal places. $$ f(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}-x^{4}} ; \quad[0,1] $$
find the derivative of the function. \(g(x)=\tanh (1-3 x)\)
Find the area of the surface obtained by revolving the given curve about the indicated axis. $$ y=x^{3} \text { on }[0,1] ; \quad x \text { -axis } $$
