integral of sec(x)-cos(x)

\int sec (x) - cos (x) d x

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

Solution steps

\int sec (x) - cos (x) d x

Simplify

sec (x) - cos (x) : sin (x) tan (x)

= \int sin (x) tan (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Expand

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

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

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

\int cos (x) d x = sin (x)

= ln ∣ tan (x) + sec (x) ∣ - sin (x)

Add a constant to the solution

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

d er i v a t i v e \frac{1}{2} ln (x)

\int x ln (11 x) d x

x \to \frac{3 π}{2} lim (sin (x))

d er i v a t i v e f (y) = ln (5 x^{2} - x + 1)

\int \frac{v}{3 - 0.001 v ^{2}} d v
