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

y = 9 + 5 x^{2} - 2 x^{3}

\int_{- 1}^{2} (x - 4 ∣ x ∣) d x

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{x}{1 + x ^{2} + y ^{2}})

x \to 1 lim (- 2 x^{2} + 2 k)

\int 2^{c o s (x)} \cdot sin (x) d x
