# Math Help - Having trouble with these!

1. ## Having trouble with these!

1. Show that (coshx + sinhx)[to the power of] n = coshnx + sinhnx

2. Determine the integral of tanhxdx

3. Determine the integral of 4dx/(e to the x + e to the -x)squared

PS How can i use the proper math symbols?!!

Thanks!

This is trivial applying the definition of the hyperbolic functions

2. Determine the integral of tanhxdx

$\tanh x=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}=\frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1}=1-\frac{2}{e^{2x}+1}$.
Take it from here now (if you know integrals of usual trigonometric functions this one won't surprise you).

3. Determine the integral of 4dx/(e to the x + e to the -x)squared

Using LaTex

Thanks!

3. I dont understand how u got that in 2.! I was looking at other examples and they use substitution?

Also would it be right to use inegrations by parts in 3.?

For 2.- Multiply by $\frac{e^x}{e^x}$

For 3.- You can try parts or note that $=\frac{4}{e^x+e^{-x}}=\frac{1}{\cosh^2x}=\sec \!\!h^2x$
