Math Problem Statement

∫tanh( 1+t 2

​ )dt

Solution

To solve the integral tanh(1+t2)dt\int \tanh\left(1 + t^2\right) \, dt, we'll proceed with a substitution method to simplify the problem. Let's go through the steps:

Given: tanh(1+t2)dt\int \tanh(1 + t^2) \, dt

Step 1: Let u=1+t2u = 1 + t^2

Then, differentiate uu with respect to tt: du=2tdt    dt=du2tdu = 2t \, dt \implies dt = \frac{du}{2t}

Step 2: Substitute uu and dtdt into the integral

tanh(u)du2t\int \tanh(u) \, \frac{du}{2t}

However, notice that we still have tt in the denominator, which is expressed in terms of uu. Since u=1+t2u = 1 + t^2, we can solve for tt:

t2=u1    t=u1t^2 = u - 1 \implies t = \sqrt{u - 1}

Thus, the integral becomes: tanh(u)du2u1\int \tanh(u) \, \frac{du}{2\sqrt{u - 1}}

Step 3: Simplify the integral

The integral: tanh(u)2u1du\int \frac{\tanh(u)}{2\sqrt{u - 1}} \, du

This integral is non-trivial and may not have a simple closed-form solution using elementary functions. In many cases, such integrals can be evaluated using numerical methods or expressed in terms of special functions.

Conclusion

The integral tanh(1+t2)dt\int \tanh(1 + t^2) \, dt is complex and does not simplify easily using elementary methods. For a more detailed analysis, we might need to resort to numerical integration or special functions.
