Primitive of x squared by Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine of x over a

Theorem

 * $\displaystyle \int x^2 \cosh^{-1} \frac x a \ \mathrm d x = \begin{cases}

\displaystyle \frac {x^3} 3 \cosh^{-1} \frac x a - \frac {\left({x^2 + 2 a^2}\right) \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } 9 + C & : \cosh^{-1} \frac x a > 0 \\ \displaystyle \frac {x^3} 3 \cosh^{-1} \frac x a - \frac {\left({x^2 + 2 a^2}\right) \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } 9 + C & : \cosh^{-1} \frac x a < 0 \end{cases}$

Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
 * $\displaystyle \int u \frac {\mathrm d v}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x = u v - \int v \frac {\mathrm d u}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x$

let:

and let:

Then:
