7. $$I _ { n } = \int \cosh ^ { n } 2 x \mathrm {~d} x \quad n \geqslant 0$$
  1. Show that, for \(n \geqslant 2\) $$I _ { n } = \frac { \cosh ^ { n - 1 } 2 x \sinh 2 x } { 2 n } + \frac { n - 1 } { n } I _ { n - 2 }$$
  2. Hence determine $$\int ( 1 + \cosh 2 x ) ^ { 3 } d x$$ collecting any like terms in your answer.
