I have to prove the following equality:
+∞∫0dx√coshx⋅+∞∫0dx√cosh3x=π.
The first integral Wolfram Mathematica somehow evaluates to
4√2πΓ(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/2√t2−1=∫10tn/2−1√1−t2dt
so, by Euler's Beta function:
In=12∫10tn/4−1(1−t)−1/2dt=Γ(n/4)Γ(1/2)2Γ(n/4+1/2)=√π2⋅Γ(n/4)Γ(n/4+1/2)
and through Γ(z+1)=zΓ(z) we have:
I1⋅I3=π4⋅Γ(14)Γ(54)=π.
