Can you find and share a proof of why the integral of secant squared is tangent?
As another reply opportunity, why is the integral of cosecant squared negative cotangent?
f sec(x)tan(x)dx
Since
sec(x)= 1/cos(x)
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)
f 1/cos2(x) sin(x)dx
— f cos-2(x) X d(cos(x))
Let u = cos(x), and n = -2
Un+1/n+1 + C
_cos -2+1(x)/-2+1 + C
_cos -1(x)/-1 + C
1/cos(x) + C
and since 1/cos(x) = sec(x)
4sec(x) + C
