Primitive of Hyperbolic Cosecant of a x

Theorem

$\ds \int \csch a x \rd x = \frac 1 a \ln \size {\tanh \frac {a x} 2} + C$

Proof

\(\ds \int \csch x \rd x\)

\(=\)

\(\ds \ln \size {\tanh \frac x 2} + C\)

Primitive of $\csch x$

\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \)

\(\ds \int \csch a x \rd x\)

\(=\)

\(\ds \frac 1 a \ln \size {\tanh \frac {a x} 2} + C\)
