Simplifying an arc length problem
I have L= Int(-2..2) sqrt(16*cosh(4*t)^2+9*sinh(4*t)^2+9)
and can use Maple to simplify this to sqrt(25*cosh(4*t)^2)
but I just can't see how that is done. (or how to get maple to show me the steps!)
Can anyone help by showing the steps, including any trig substitutions/identities used?
