integral of tanh(ln(x) dx:

work shown:
from table of integration of hyberbolic forms:

integral of tanh(u) du= ln cosh(u) +C


therefore i got (1/x)* ln (cosh(ln(x)) +C as my answer

why is this wrong?

please help
 
\(\displaystyle \int tanh(ln(x))dx\)

Rewrite as \(\displaystyle \int \frac{x^{2}-1}{x^{2}+1}dx\)

\(\displaystyle \int\left(1-\frac{2}{1+x^{2}}\right)dx\)

\(\displaystyle =x-2\int\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}dx\)

\(\displaystyle x-2tan^{-1}(x)\)
