MHB Integration of hyperbolic function

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on integrating the function x * sech²(x²) with respect to x. A hint is provided, referencing the derivative of the hyperbolic tangent function, tanh(x), which equals sech²(x). Participants are encouraged to consider the derivative of tanh(x²) to aid in solving the integral. The integration process involves recognizing the relationship between hyperbolic functions and their derivatives. Overall, the conversation emphasizes using known derivatives to simplify the integration task.

i don't know how start. please help.

$\displaystyle\int xsech^2(x^2)dx$
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hint :

$$\frac{d}{dx} \tanh(x)=\text{sech}^2(x)$$

What about

$$\frac{d}{dx} \tanh(x^2)$$
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
