I need to integrate [tex]2\int_0^1cosh(\pi x)cosnx[/tex]
Not asking anyone to do it for me, just what method to use?
Thanks alot.

The integration by parts method is a technique used in calculus to find the integral of a product of two functions. It is based on the product rule of differentiation, and involves choosing one of the functions to differentiate and the other to integrate.
The integration by parts method is typically used when the integrand (the function being integrated) is a product of two functions that cannot be easily integrated using other methods, such as substitution or partial fractions.
When using the integration by parts method, you can follow the acronym "LIATE" to determine which function to choose as the first (or "L") function to differentiate. "L" stands for logarithmic functions, "I" for inverse trigonometric functions, "A" for algebraic functions, "T" for trigonometric functions, and "E" for exponential functions. The second function should be the one that is easier to integrate.
Yes, the integration by parts method can also be used to evaluate definite integrals, where the limits of integration are specified. In this case, the formula for integration by parts is modified to include the limits of integration, and the resulting integral is evaluated using the limits.
One common mistake to avoid when using the integration by parts method is forgetting to include the "+ C" when evaluating the indefinite integral. Another mistake is not being careful with algebraic manipulations, which can result in incorrect answers. It is important to double check your work when using this method to avoid errors.
