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

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

sec (x) - ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{sin ( x ) - cos ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} - \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

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

\int \frac{1}{cos ( x )} d x = ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣

= sec (x) - ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= sec (x) - ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ + C

\int (49.1 - 0.55 b) x - 0.55 x d x

\int \frac{40}{x ^{2} x ^{2} + 64} d x

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

\int x^{2} e^{3 x^{3} - 1} d x
