    Integration
In summary, the conversation is discussing an integration problem involving hyperbolic functions. The approach of using f'(x)/f(x) was attempted but not successful. The conversation then continues with discussing the integration steps and suggests that the integration can be completed using a substitution method.

Hi mahmoud shaaban and welcome to MHB! :D

$$\begin{align*}\int\dfrac{6\sinh(x)\cosh^2(x)+\sinh(x)}{\cosh^3(x)+\cosh(x)}\,dx&=\int\tanh(x)\left(\dfrac{5\cosh^2(x)}{\cosh^2(x)+1}+1\right)\,dx \\
&=5\int\dfrac{\cosh(x)\sinh(x)}{\cosh^2(x)+1}\,dx+\int\tanh(x)\,dx\end{align*}$$

Can you continue?

[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{6\sinh x\cosh^2x + \sinh x}{\cosh^3x + \cosh x}\,dx [/tex]

[tex]\text{We have: }\;\int \left(\frac{3\sinh x\cosh^2\!x + \sinh x}{\cosh^3\!x + \cosh x} + \frac{3\sinh x\cosh^2\!x}{\cosh^3\!x + \cosh x}\right)\,dx [/tex]

. . . [tex]=\;\int\left(\frac{3\sinh x\cosh^2\!x + \sinh x}{\cosh^3\!x + \cosh x} +\frac{3\sinh x \cosh x}{\cosh^2\!x + 1} \right)\,dx [/tex]

. . . [tex]=\;\int \frac{3\sinh x\cosh^2\!x + \sinh x}{\cosh^3\!x + \cosh x}\,dx \;+\; \frac{3}{2}\int\frac{2\sinh x\cosh x}{\cosh^2\!x+1}\,dx[/tex]

Can you finish it now?
