integral of 1/(cos(4x))

\int \frac{1}{cos ( 4 x )} d x

\frac{1}{4} ln ∣ tan (4 x) + sec (4 x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{cos ( 4 x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int sec (4 x) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int sec (u) \frac{1}{4} d u

= \int sec (u) \frac{1}{4} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sec (u) d u = ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = 4 x

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ tan (4 x) + sec (4 x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ tan (4 x) + sec (4 x) ∣ + C

x \to 4 lim (\frac{- 6}{4 - x})

\int x^{3} x^{2} + 41 d x

y = \frac{10}{( 10 - x ^{4} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

\int \frac{x ^{2} + x - 6}{x ^{2} - 9} d x

\int \frac{1}{( 95 - x ) ^{2}} d x
