integral of (tanh(x))

\int (tanh (x)) d x

ln ∣ cosh (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int tanh (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sinh ( x )}{cosh ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = cosh (x)

= ln ∣ cosh (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ cosh (x) ∣ + C
