integral of 1/(cos(x))

integral

\frac{1}{cos ( x )}

ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \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 x^{2} x^{3} - 15 d x

\int sin (5 x) e^{c o s (5 x)} d x

\int \frac{1}{7 x ^{2} + 2} d x

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

\int sin^{2} (\frac{π x}{8}) d x
