integral from 0 to pi/2 of tan^2(x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} tan^{2} (x) d x

diverges

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} tan^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} - 1 + sec^{2} (x) 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

= - \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sec^{2} (x) d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sec^{2} (x) d x =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

= diverges

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

arctan (\frac{x}{4})

\int \frac{( 4 - x ) ^{2}}{x} d x

\frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{x} + 3}

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