Answer

$$2\tanh 2$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int_0^4 {\frac{{{{\operatorname{sech} }^2}\sqrt x }}{{\sqrt x }}} dx \cr & {\text{set }}u = \sqrt x {\text{ }}\,\,\,\,\,{\text{then }}\,\,\,\,du = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt x }}dx,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2du = \frac{1}{{\sqrt x }}dx \cr & {\text{switch the limits of integration}} \cr & u = \sqrt x ,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x = 0 \to u = 0 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x = 4 \to u = 2 \cr & {\text{use the change of variable}} \cr & \int_0^4 {\frac{{{{\operatorname{sech} }^2}\sqrt x }}{{\sqrt x }}} dx = \int_0^2 {{{\operatorname{sech} }^2}u} \left( {2du} \right) \cr & = 2\int_0^2 {{{\operatorname{sech} }^2}u} du \cr & {\text{integrate and evaluate the limits}} \cr & = 2\left( {\tanh u} \right)_0^2 \cr & = 2\left( {\tanh 2 - \tanh 0} \right) \cr & = 2\tanh 2 \cr} $$
