∫sin(2sinh(3x))

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


okay so i did a u substitution letting u=3x so we get 1/3∫sin(2sinh(u)) but i have no idea how to get rid of the sinh, i tried writing in exponential form or maybe i have to use some identity.. I am not sure where to go from there!

You should always include the dx or whatever when writing an integral.

It's not clear this integral even has an anti-derivative which can be expressed in terms of elementary functions.

Where does this integral come from?
 

Related to Integrate sin(2sinh(3x)): Solutions & Tips

1. What is the general approach to integrating sin(2sinh(3x))?

The general approach to integrating sin(2sinh(3x)) involves using the substitution method. This means substituting the variable inside the trigonometric function with a new variable, and then using trigonometric identities and integration techniques to solve the resulting integral.

2. What is the substitution used for integrating sin(2sinh(3x))?

The substitution used for integrating sin(2sinh(3x)) is u = 2sinh(3x). This substitution allows us to simplify the integral and apply trigonometric identities to solve it.

3. How do I simplify the integral sin(2sinh(3x))?

To simplify the integral sin(2sinh(3x)), we can use the identity sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x). This allows us to rewrite the integral as 2sinh(3x)cos(3x), which can then be further simplified using the double angle identity for cosine.
