@@leif1075 Thank you for sharing! After all my life experiences up to this point, it seems like life is just a whole bunch of experimentation. Someone finds a way to do something, so they do it. Maybe it appeals to them, maybe because they’ve seen something similar before. It’s a great big mystery. I’m by no means an integration master, but I try to follow along and leave a odd comment to show support and see what responses I get. It’s been fun, and if it can lead to someone showing a better way, I’m stoked!

Just to clarify, the inverse of hyperbolic tangent function is artanh, not arctanh, with "ar" meaning area instead of arc; also, the domain of artanh is (-1, 1), which does not include any of (u+1/u)/√2. Therefore, the result should be arcoth instead of artanh. Anyway thanks for sharing this problem, it's fun to solve.

I couldn't remember my trigonometric derivatives, outside sin and cos (though honestly I'm not sure why I didn't just do quotient rule), so I tried to make it something more manageable using Euler's formula and after like 10 minutes of work, I managed to circle my way back around to sqrt(tan(x)) = sqrt(tan(x)).

Happy to help!

[@skylardeslypere9909]

1:42, right here, you can also use a partial fraction decomposition. Write the denominator as follows: u⁴+1 = u⁴ + 2u² + 1 - 2u² (adding zero) = (u²+1)² - (√(2) u)² = [ u² - √(2) u + 1] [ u² + √(2) u + 1] And now we have written the denominator as the product of two quadratic factors, which we can split using partial fractions. Then we are just integrating a linear term over a quadratic term, which has a fairly standard type of solution involving logarithms and inverse tangents.

[@bmw123ck]

this one would have been my approach!

[@a.syndeed]

You could use the natural log version of the formula instead of the hyperbolic arctangent one, as more people are familiar with that one. That's the one they taught me in high school.

What happens when 0 has a value in a function but is undefined in its integral like this one? How can we compute the definite integral from 0 to 1 for example if 0 is undefined in the formula, but 0 to 1 definitely has an area under the curve?

Approximations (although not always as pleasing) can work very well. You could also try a different form integration (Lebesgue for example).

[@aleksandardashich]

On my exam last year I had to do integral ln(x²+1)e^sqrt(tan(x)) and it split up basically on ln(x²+1) which was not that hard.But for sqrt(tan(x)) it was little bit complicated, I did everything the same till 1:42 when I used partial fractions.I remember it took me very long time to calculate coefficients 'cause I got somehow all of them zero so I tried three times till I finally resolved them, then it took some of work to finish it but it was very challenging, exam took two hours and I was doing this for about 45 minutes.

[@violintegral]

ln(x²+1)exp(√(tan(x))) certainly does not have an elementary antiderivative

[@aleksandardashich]

@@violintegral I just forgot a parenthesis so it should be ln((x²+1)*e^sqrt(tan(x))).So you use rule of logaritms ln(a*b)=lna+lnb si ln(x²+1)e^(sqrt(tan(x)))=ln(x²+1)+lne^(sqrt(tan(x))) and than by rule of logaritms lne^sqrt(tan(x))=sqrt(tan(x))*lne and we know that lne=1 so it leaves just sqrt(tan(x)).

As it turns out, both of these integrals can be evaluated with easy substitutions after some intense algebraic manipulation.
