integral of (sin(x))/(2cos(x))

\int \frac{sin ( x )}{2 cos ( x )} d x

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ cos (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{sin ( x )}{2 cos ( x )} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} (- ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

= \frac{1}{2} (- ln ∣ cos (x) ∣)

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ cos (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ cos (x) ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{3 t ^{2}} d t

\int x^{2} - 5 x + 6 d x

\int \frac{18}{( x ^{2} + 9 ) ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{( 2 x + 1 )}{2 x} d x

\int \frac{2 x ^{3}}{1 - x ^{4}} d x
