Question Number 91074 by  M±th+et+s last updated on 27/Apr/20

this trig integral has quite a few   insights on trig integrals andd   u subs as well as on the properties  of logarithms. try it out it′s a nice  one  ∫tan(x)dx

∫ tanxdx =∫ ((sinx)/(cosx))dx =−∫((d(cosx))/(cosx)) =−ln∣cosx∣ +C

$$\int\:{tanxdx}\:=\int\:\frac{{sinx}}{{cosx}}{dx}\:=−\int\frac{{d}\left({cosx}\right)}{{cosx}}\:=−{ln}\mid{cosx}\mid\:+{C} \\ $$

isn′t this just −log_e cos (x)+C or am i   missing something?

$${isn}'{t}\:{this}\:{just}\:−{log}_{{e}} \mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)+{C}\:{or}\:{am}\:{i}\: \\ $$$${missing}\:{something}? \\ $$

there is another solutions like  (1/2)ln(1+tan^2 (x))+c

$${there}\:{is}\:{another}\:{solutions}\:{like} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{ln}\left(\mathrm{1}+{tan}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right)\right)+{c} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

yes because 1+tan^2 x =(1/(cos^2 x))→the same result

$${yes}\:{because}\:\mathrm{1}+{tan}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}\rightarrow{the}\:{same}\:{result} \\ $$
