integral of 1/((cos(x)+1))

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

tan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int 1 d u

= \int 1 d u

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

u = tan (\frac{x}{2})

= 1 \cdot tan (\frac{x}{2})

Simplify

= tan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= tan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int (8 x^{3} - 4 csc^{2} (x) + e^{x}) d x

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

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

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ( x + 3 )} d x

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