Integration of hyperbolic functions

[Agent M27]

Homework Statement

\int cosh(2x)sinh^{2}(2x)dx

Homework Equations

Not sure

The Attempt at a Solution

This was an example problem in the book and was curious how they got to the following answer:

\int cosh(2x)sinh^{2}(2x)dx = \frac{1}{2}\int sinh^{2}(2x)2cosh(2x) dx

= \frac{sinh^{3}2x}{6} + C

My issue with this problem is I don't understand what happened to the 2cosh(2x). It relates to sinh^{2}(x)+cosh^{2}(x) but that only equals 1 in normal trig, not hyperbolic. Thanks in advance.

Hyperbolic trig identities would be very relevant.

For some reason, your LaTeX wasn't showing up correctly. I fixed it by removing several pairs of [ tex] and [ /tex] tags.
Tip: Use one pair of these tags per block.

\int cosh(2x)sinh^{2}(2x)dx = \frac{1}{2}\int sinh^{2}(2x)2cosh(2x) dx<br /> <br /> = \frac{1}{2}\frac{sinh^{3}2x}{3} + C

My issue with this problem is I don't understand what happened to the 2cosh(2x). It relates to sinh^{2}(x)+cosh^{2}(x) but that only equals 1 in normal trig, not hyperbolic. Thanks in advance.

The integration was done using an ordinary substitution, u = sinh(2x).

Ya I just realized that if I set u= sinh(2x) then du=2cosh(2x) dx then substitute from there. Thanks
