∫ tanh²x dx (Hint: Use an identity.)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the identity for hyperbolic tangent squared: \(\tanh^{2}x = 1 - \sech^{2}x\). This will help simplify the integral.
Rewrite the integral using the identity: \(\int \tanh^{2}x \, dx = \int (1 - \sech^{2}x) \, dx\).
Split the integral into two separate integrals: \(\int 1 \, dx - \int \sech^{2}x \, dx\).
Integrate each term separately: The integral of 1 with respect to \(x\) is \(x\), and the integral of \(\sech^{2}x\) is \(\tanh x\).
Combine the results to write the integral as \(x - \tanh x + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.

Hyperbolic Functions and Their Identities

Hyperbolic functions like tanh(x) are analogs of trigonometric functions but based on exponential functions. Key identities, such as tanh²x + sech²x = 1, help simplify expressions and integrals involving these functions.
