integral of sqrt(1/(cos^2(x)))

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

ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int sec^{2} (x) d x

sec^{2} (x) = (sec (x)),

assuming

sec (x) \geq 0

= \int sec (x) d x

Use the common integral:

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

= ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

\int 3 sin (x) e^{c o s (x)} d x

\int \frac{2 v + 6}{7 v - 12} d v

\int \frac{8 - 3 x e ^{x}}{x} d x

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