Evaluate the intergal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pi \int\limits_{0}^{1}((e^x+e ^{-x})\sqrt{1+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }(e^x-e ^{-x})^2})dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it wasn't for that damn 1 in the square root, this would be simple.

hartnn (hartnn):

you tried substituting u =e^x - e^(-x) , did you ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would I do that?

hartnn (hartnn):

because ,then (e^x+e^(-x))dx = du. and your integral reduces to \(\int \sqrt{1+(1/4)u^2}du\) with limits changed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, Just saw it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seriously @hartnn , how do you come up with all this stuff? :P .

hartnn (hartnn):

Practice, lots of it. Then it automatically comes in mind,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the new limits would be 0 and e-(1/e) right?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I correct in saying I see a trig sub now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would set u = 2tan(theta) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 2\cosh(x) = e^x+e^{-x} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well... We haven't learn't integrals of hyperbolic trig functions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you learned any hyperbolic identities?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\\ \large 22. \int \sqrt{x^2+a^2}dx=\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\ln| x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}|+c \\\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah we have. But I would rather avoid hyperobolics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 1+\sinh^2(x) = \cosh^2(x) \]This would clear out your square root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could always convert back to \(\exp(\;)\) when you are done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about the x^x-e^-x then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Inside the square root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And thanks Hartann! I got it :) . Just trying to see this alternate method.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \sinh(x) = \frac{e^x-x^{-x}}{2} \\ \sinh^2(x) = \frac{1}{4}(e^x-x^{-x})^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh that's just beautiful.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \sqrt{1+\sinh^2(x)}=\sqrt{\cosh^2x)} = |\cosh(x)|=\cosh(x) \]

hartnn (hartnn):

ofcourse! @wio method is way better than mine! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \pi\int_0^1 2\cosh^2(x)\;dx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

KK so now I have:\[2\pi \int\limits_{0}^{1}\cosh^2(x) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use half angles right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 2\pi\int_0^1\frac{\cosh(2x)+1}{2}dx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, I got that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then integrate them separately and use \(u=2x\) sub.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ (\sinh(x))' = \cosh(x) \]

OpenStudy (dan815):

lololol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go away.

OpenStudy (dan815):

HEY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks a lot wio! Got it :) .

OpenStudy (dan815):

i came here to give you my assistance in U SUBSTITUTIOUn

OpenStudy (dan815):

lmao it bought a tear to your eye!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no section of hyperbolic integrals in many calculus classes.

OpenStudy (dan815):

subhashis are u andra pradesh side by any chance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (dan815):

where are u from

OpenStudy (dan815):

hartnn will i get banned from too many warnings

hartnn (hartnn):

Do not spam on questions, if you want to ask anything that is unrelated to questions, use personal message facility.

OpenStudy (dan815):

because this is my 2nd warning in 2 days

hartnn (hartnn):

if you continue such behaviour, you'll get suspended.

OpenStudy (dan815):

what i actually drew was a x^4 graph

OpenStudy (dan815):

lmao :)

hartnn (hartnn):

Stop commenting right there!

OpenStudy (dan815):

it was a x^4 graph with cuspid inflection points obbvioussly
