Math Problem Statement

What is the integral of the given expression Stgx dx?

Solution

The given expression in the image is an integral:

tan(x)dx\int \tan(x) \, dx

The integral of tan(x)\tan(x) with respect to xx is:

tan(x)dx=lncos(x)+C\int \tan(x) \, dx = -\ln|\cos(x)| + C

where CC is the constant of integration.

Would you like further details or any additional clarifications?

Here are some related questions to expand on this:

  1. How is the integral of tan(x)\tan(x) derived?
  2. What is the integral of sec(x)\sec(x), which is closely related to tan(x)\tan(x)?
  3. Can we use substitution to solve integrals like tan(x)dx\int \tan(x) \, dx?
  4. How is the logarithmic function involved in the integration of trigonometric functions?
  5. What are other common integrals of trigonometric functions?

Tip: Always remember that logarithmic functions often arise when integrating trigonometric functions like tan(x)\tan(x) due to their derivative properties.
