Question

Find the indefinite integral.
(e^x - e^-x) / (e^x - e^-x)^5/2

Answer 1

beckm, when you integrate this, you're going to end up with something that uses the hypergeometric function. Have you heard of that?

Answer 2

no i have not

Answer 3

we have been using integration using substitution,

Answer 4

What level mathematics are you taking?

Answer 5

Business Calculus

Answer 6

Yeah, you could consider setting \[e^x=\cosh u \]to end up with an integral form of\[\frac{1}{2^{3/2}}cosech^{3/2} u \]

Answer 7

But again, the hypergeometric function will be coming...

Answer 8

yeah i dont think we are learning that b/c our school yr is over in two weeks, and we are only learning integration using substituiton

Answer 9

Yeah...sorry :(
