Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #90

Evaluate \(\int_{\ln\sqrt2}^{\ln\sqrt3}\frac{dx}{(e^x+e^{-x})(e^x-e^{-x})}\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (1/4)ln(3/2)
  1. Multiply numerator and denominator by e^(2x), then set u=e^(2x), du=2e^(2x)dx. The limits become 2,3.
  2. The integral is (1/2)∫₂³du/(u²−1)=(1/4)[ln|(u−1)/(u+1)|]₂³.
  3. The endpoint ratio is [(3−1)/(3+1)]/[(2−1)/(2+1)]=(1/2)/(1/3)=3/2.
  4. Therefore the integral equals (1/4)ln(3/2).

  • [0.5 marks] Multiply numerator and denominator by e^(2x), then set u=e^(2x), du=2e^(2x)dx. The limits become 2,3.
  • [1 mark] The integral is (1/2)∫₂³du/(u²−1)=(1/4)[ln|(u−1)/(u+1)|]₂³.
  • [1 mark] The endpoint ratio is [(3−1)/(3+1)]/[(2−1)/(2+1)]=(1/2)/(1/3)=3/2.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals (1/4)ln(3/2).
