With the substitution x = u 2 x = u^2 we obtain 0 cosh ( 3 x ) x e x d x = 2 0 e u 2 cosh ( 3 u ) d u = 0 e u 2 ( e 3 u + e 3 u ) d u = e u 2 + 3 u d u = e x p [ ( u 3 2 ) 2 + 9 4 ] d x = e 9 4 e u 2 d u = e 9 4 π \begin{aligned} \int_0^\infty \frac{\cosh(3\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x} e^x}\,dx & = \; 2\int_0^\infty e^{-u^2}\cosh(3u)\,du \; = \; \int_0^\infty e^{-u^2}\big(e^{3u} + e^{-3u}\big)\,du \; = \; \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-u^2 + 3u}\,du \\ & = \; \int_{-\infty}^\infty \mathrm{exp}\big[-(u-\tfrac32)^2 + \tfrac94\big]\,dx \; = \; e^{\frac{9}{4}} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-u^2}\,du \; = \; \boxed{e^{\frac{9}{4}}\sqrt{\pi}} \end{aligned}
