integral of (tan(x))

\int (tan (x)) d x

- ln ∣ cos (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int tan (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int - \frac{1}{u} d u

= \int - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

= - ln ∣ cos (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ cos (x) ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( y )} d y

\int 121 - x^{2} d x

sin (6 (t - \frac{π}{6}))

x \to - \infty lim (2 x^{5})

y = \frac{1}{x}, at x = a
