How do you find #int sec^2x#?

Answer 1

#tan (x)+c#

Finding the function you must differentiate in order to provide the function you are integrating is a prerequisite for integration.

In the case of #int sec^2 x#, the function that, when you take the derivative, gives you the function #sec^2 x# is #tan x +c#.

To integrate ( \sec^2(x) ), you use the formula: [ \int \sec^2(x) , dx = \tan(x) + C ] where ( C ) is the constant of integration.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
