integral of 5/(sec(x)-1)

\int \frac{5}{sec ( x ) - 1} d x

5 (- cot (\frac{x}{2}) - x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5}{sec ( x ) - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ( x ) - 1} d x

\frac{1}{sec ( x ) - 1} = \frac{sec ( x )}{sec ( x ) - 1} - 1

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{sec ( x )}{sec ( x ) - 1} - 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 5 (\int \frac{sec ( x )}{sec ( x ) - 1} d x - \int 1 d x)

\int \frac{sec ( x )}{sec ( x ) - 1} d x = - cot (\frac{x}{2})

\int 1 d x = x

= 5 (- cot (\frac{x}{2}) - x)

Add a constant to the solution

= 5 (- cot (\frac{x}{2}) - x) + C

\int \frac{1}{4 x - x ^{2}} d x

x^{2} - 4 \cdot x, x \cdot 0, [- 2, 4]

\frac{4}{x ^{6}} + \frac{2}{x} - \frac{5}{x ^{4}}

g (x) = 6 x^{2} e^{- x}

\frac{2 ( s + 2 )}{s ^{2} + s + 3}
