Homework Statement



Compute the following:

\int \frac{cosh(x)}{cosh^2(x) - 1}\,dx


Homework Equations


\int cosh(x)\,dx = sinh(x) + C


The Attempt at a Solution


I had no clue where to start, so I went to WolfRamAlpha, and it used substitution but it made u = tanh(\frac{x}{2}) and I had no clue how I am supposed to know to do that.

Any advice on where to start is greatly appreciated.

I solved this problem after realizing that cosh^2(x) - 1 = sinh^2(x). This allowe me to split make it \int coth(x)csch(x)\,dx, and then I could use another identity to set that equal to -csch(x) + c
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
