Prove $$int_0^inftyoperatorname{sech} x,dx=pi/2$$ and deduce $$int_0^1operatorname{sech}^{-1}x,dx$$




I can prove the first statement (see below), but I was unable to deduce the value of the second integral.

    Shouldn't the integral be equal to $frac{pi}{2}$ instead of $pi$? And what's your question, I don't understand what you're asking.

    For the integral of the inverse function, maybe you can use a geometric interpretation! If you graph sech and arcsech, and you know the area under sech ...

    I uploaded the question which is q13. I successfully do the first part but i do no know how to deduce the second part from there. Apparently the arcsech is undefined for 0 to 1 if the i tried to interpret graphically

Note that by setting $u = operatorname{sech}^{-1} x$ we have that
begin{align}
int^1_0 operatorname{sech}^{-1} x dx = int^infty_0 u tanh u operatorname{sech} u du
end{align}

then by integration by parts you should be done.

    When it comes to the second part of your question:



    begin{equation}
    I = int f^{-1}(t):dt
    end{equation}



    Let $x = f^{-1}(t)$ or $t = f(x)$, then



    begin{equation}
    I = int x cdot f'(x):dx
    end{equation}



    Integrate by parts:



    begin{align}
    v'(x) &= f'(x) & u(x) &= x \
    v(x) &= f(x) & u'(x) &= 1
    end{align}



    Thus,



    begin{align}
    I &= int x cdot f'(x):dx = x cdot f(x) - int f(x) cdot 1 :dx \
    &= x cdot f(x) - F(x)
    end{align}



    Where $F'(x) = f(x)$. As $x = f^{-1}(t)$ we have



    begin{align}
    I &= int f^{-1}(t):dt = x cdot f(x) - F(x) = t cdot f^{-1}(t) - Fleft(f^{-1}(t)right)
    end{align}



    So in this case $x = operatorname{arcsech}(t) rightarrow f(x) = t$.



    begin{equation}
    F'(x) = operatorname{sech}(x) rightarrow F(x) = 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{x}{2}right) right)
    end{equation}



    Hence,



    begin{equation}
    Fleft(operatorname{arcsech}(x)right) = 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{operatorname{arcsech}(x)}{2}right) right)
    end{equation}



    And thus:



    begin{equation}
    int operatorname{arcsech}(t) :dx = tcdot operatorname{arcsech}(t) - 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{operatorname{arcsech}(x)}{t}right) right) + C
    end{equation}



    Where $C$ is the constant of integration.

                  I = int x cdot f'(x):dx
                  end{equation}



                  Integrate by parts:



                  begin{align}
                  v'(x) &= f'(x) & u(x) &= x \
                  v(x) &= f(x) & u'(x) &= 1
                  end{align}



                  Thus,



                  begin{align}
                  I &= int x cdot f'(x):dx = x cdot f(x) - int f(x) cdot 1 :dx \
                  &= x cdot f(x) - F(x)
                  end{align}



                  Where $F'(x) = f(x)$. As $x = f^{-1}(t)$ we have



                  begin{align}
                  I &= int f^{-1}(t):dt = x cdot f(x) - F(x) = t cdot f^{-1}(t) - Fleft(f^{-1}(t)right)
                  end{align}



                  So in this case $x = operatorname{arcsech}(t) rightarrow f(x) = t$.



                  begin{equation}
                  F'(x) = operatorname{sech}(x) rightarrow F(x) = 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{x}{2}right) right)
                  end{equation}



                  Hence,



                  begin{equation}
                  Fleft(operatorname{arcsech}(x)right) = 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{operatorname{arcsech}(x)}{2}right) right)
                  end{equation}



                  And thus:



                  begin{equation}
                  int operatorname{arcsech}(t) :dx = tcdot operatorname{arcsech}(t) - 2arctanleft(tanhleft(frac{operatorname{arcsech}(x)}{t}right) right) + C
                  end{equation}



                  Where $C$ is the constant of integration.
