integration - Prove equality with product of improper integrals



I have to prove the following equality:
+0dxcoshx+0dxcosh3x=π.



The first integral Wolfram Mathematica somehow evaluates to
42πΓ(54)2.



But I don't know how to simplify it to such form and deal with the second integral.


Answer



We have:

In=+0dxcoshn/2x=+1dttn/2t21=10tn/211t2dt
so, by Euler's Beta function:



In=1210tn/41(1t)1/2dt=Γ(n/4)Γ(1/2)2Γ(n/4+1/2)=π2Γ(n/4)Γ(n/4+1/2)
and through Γ(z+1)=zΓ(z) we have:



I1I3=π4Γ(14)Γ(54)=π.
