Rigid shape of the probability distribution

Compute from your solution and show that we may write in the form , where and are constants independent of time. ( Background: Note that this means that the probability distribution does not change shape but simply shifts rigidly back and forth as a function of time. The fact that the distribution keeps its shape as a function of time is related to why these solutions are called ``Coherent States''.)
