Fun with 2018 #5

Calculus Level 3

0 4 A d x 2018 ( e x 2018 + e x 2018 ) 2 = 2018 \large \int_{0}^\infty \frac{4A \ dx}{2018 \left ( e^{\frac{x}{2018}} + e^{- \frac{x}{2018}} \right )^2} = 2018

What is the value of A A such that equation above is satisfied?

2018 = 0 4 A d x 2018 ( e x 2018 + e x 2018 ) 2 = A 2018 0 sech 2 ( x 2018 ) d x Let u = x 2018 d u = d x 2018 = A 0 sech 2 u d u = A tanh u 0 = A \begin{aligned} 2018 & = \int_0^\infty \frac {4A\ dx}{2018\left(e^\frac x{2018}+e^{-\frac x{2018}}\right)^2} \\ & = \frac A{2018} \int_0^\infty \text{sech}^2 \left(\frac x{2018}\right) dx & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Let }u = \frac x{2018} \implies du = \frac {dx}{2018} \\ & = A \int_0^\infty \text{sech}^2 u \ du \\ & = A \tanh u \ \bigg|_0^\infty \\ & = A \end{aligned}

Therefore, A = 2018 A=\boxed{2018} .
