Hi all, I've just recently been going on maths forums to find out why this problem occurs. I understand how to work out the solution but not why the problem occurs in the first place. Anyway here it is:
Where y = cosh(x).e^x work out the general integral of y with respect to x.
As integral(uv') = uv - integral(u'v)
Say u = cosh(x), u'=sinh(x), v'=e^x, v=e^x
So integral(cosh(x).e^x) = cosh(x).e^x - integral(sinh(x).e^x) : Equation 1
Taking integral(sinh(x).e^x), u=sinh(x), u'=cosh(x), v'=e^x, v=e^x
integral(sinh(x).e^x) = sinh(x).e^x - integral(cosh(x).e^x) : Equation 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1
integral(cosh(x).e^x) = cosh(x).e^x - sinh(x).e^x + integral(cosh(x).e^x)
cosh(x).e^x - sinh(x).e^x = 0
cosh(x).e^x = sinh(x).e^x
cosh(x) = sinh(x)
Where y = cosh(x).e^x work out the general integral of y with respect to x.
As integral(uv') = uv - integral(u'v)
Say u = cosh(x), u'=sinh(x), v'=e^x, v=e^x
So integral(cosh(x).e^x) = cosh(x).e^x - integral(sinh(x).e^x) : Equation 1
Taking integral(sinh(x).e^x), u=sinh(x), u'=cosh(x), v'=e^x, v=e^x
integral(sinh(x).e^x) = sinh(x).e^x - integral(cosh(x).e^x) : Equation 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1
integral(cosh(x).e^x) = cosh(x).e^x - sinh(x).e^x + integral(cosh(x).e^x)
cosh(x).e^x - sinh(x).e^x = 0
cosh(x).e^x = sinh(x).e^x
cosh(x) = sinh(x)
