Find the exact value of the integral \(\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 + 4x}} \, dx\), giving your answer in the form \(\ln \left( \frac{a + \sqrt{b}}{c + \sqrt{d}} \right)\) where \(a, b, c, d\) are integers.<\/p>

Find the exact mean value of the function \(f(x) = \sinh 2x\) over the interval \([0, \ln 2]\). Give your answer in the form \(\frac{a}{b \ln c}\), where \(a, b, c\) are integers.
Note: the mean value of a function over the interval \([a, b]\) is given by \(\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx\).

(a) Given that \(y = \text{artanh } x\), where \(|x| < 1\), show that \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{1-x^2}\).
