Question Number 597 by 112358 last updated on 08/Feb/15

Evaluate ∫_0 ^1 (1/(1+u^4 ))du exactly if   u=coshx.

$${Evaluate}\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{u}^{\mathrm{4}} }{du}\:{exactly}\:{if}\: \\ $$$${u}={coshx}.\: \\ $$

cosh x=0 will give complex values of x.  However the fact u=cosh x does not  impact value of integral.

$$\mathrm{cosh}\:{x}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{give}\:\mathrm{complex}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{of}\:{x}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{However}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{fact}\:{u}=\mathrm{cosh}\:{x}\:\mathrm{does}\:\mathrm{not} \\ $$$$\mathrm{impact}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{integral}. \\ $$
