    I Integration of a hyperbolic function

    The integral of cothx is ln|sinhx|+C. Does this mean the integral of coth2x is ln|sinh2x|+C? If not, does anyone have a link to a page on how it is achieved - I'm trying to compile a list of all common hyperbolic function derivatives and integrals. However, I can't find anything to confirm if...

    What is the complex conjugate of this wave function?

    I was planning to find the value of N by taking the integral of φ*(x)φ(x)dx from -∞ to ∞ = 1. However, this wave function doesn't have a complex number so I'm not sure what φ*(x) is. I was thinking φ*(x) is exactly the same φ(x), but with x+x0 instead of x-x0. Thank you

    Prove that this function is nonnegative

    What I wanted to do was set f(x)=##x^2##/2 - xcosx+sinx And show that f(x)>0. f'(x)=x(1+sinx) First I wanted to prove that f(x)<0 in the interval (0,∞) 0≤1+sinx≤2 And thus for all x> 0 f'(x)≥0 and therefore f(x)≥f(0)=0 And it doesn't help me much because I need to f(x)>0
