Theorem

$\ds \int x \cosh^2 a x \rd x = \frac {x \sinh 2 a x} {4 a} - \frac {\cosh 2 a x} {8 a^2} + \frac {x^2} 4 + C$


Proof

With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:

$\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$

let:

\(\ds u\) \(=\) \(\ds x\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) \(=\) \(\ds 1\) Derivative of Identity Function


and let:

\(\ds \frac {\d v} {\d x}\) \(=\) \(\ds \cosh^2 a x\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds v\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {\sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac x 2\) Primitive of $\cosh^2 a x$


Then:

\(\ds \int x \cosh^2 a x \rd x\) \(=\) \(\ds x \paren {\frac {\sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac x 2} - \int \paren {\frac {\sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac x 2} \times 1 \rd x + C\) Integration by Parts
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {x \sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac {x^2} 2 - \frac 1 {4 a} \int \sinh 2 a x \rd x - \frac 1 2 \int x \rd x + C\) Linear Combination of Primitives
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {x \sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac {x^2} 2 - \frac 1 {4 a} \int \sinh 2 a x \rd x - \frac {x^2} 4 + C\) Primitive of Power
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {x \sinh 2 a x} {4 a} + \frac {x^2} 2 - \frac 1 {4 a} \frac {\cosh 2 a x} {2 a} - \frac {x^2} 4 + C\) Primitive of $\sinh a x$
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {x \sinh 2 a x} {4 a} - \frac {\cosh 2 a x} {8 a^2} + \frac {x^2} 4 + C\) simplifying

$\blacksquare$
