integral of 4/(cos(x))

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

4 ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= 4 \cdot \int sec (x) d x

Use the common integral:

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

= 4 ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 4 ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

\int (1 - 3 x^{2}) d x

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

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

\int e^{4 - 5 x} d x

\int (x^{2} - 3 x + 2)^{2} (2 x - 3) d x
