Answer

$$ \int \frac{\operatorname{coth}(1 / y)}{y^{2}} d y=-\ln |\sinh (1 / y)|+C $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int \frac{\operatorname{coth}(1 / y)}{y^{2}} d y $$ If we make the substitution $$ u=1 / y, \quad d u=-1 / y^{2} d y $$ and we look at the Table of Integrals , we see that the closest entry is number $106$ : $$ \begin{aligned} \int \frac{\operatorname{coth}(1 / y)}{y^{2}} d y &=\int \operatorname{coth} u(-d u) \quad\left[\begin{array}{c} u=1 / y, \\ d u=-1 / y^{2} d y \end{array}\right] \\ & \stackrel{106}{=}-\ln |\sinh u|+C \\ &=-\ln |\sinh (1 / y)|+C \end{aligned} $$
