What about this? \[\int{\frac{\sin x+\cos x}{\cos x - \sin x}}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply both sides by cos x + sin x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will get like this : \[\large{\frac{1 + 2cosx.sinx}{cos^2x-sin^2x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify n integrate.

OpenStudy (amriju):

multiply num and den. by cosx + sinx...and solve for sec2x+tan2X

hartnn (hartnn):

well, do u know this standard identity \(\huge \int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}dx=ln|f(x)|+c\) no need to multiply or divide anything.....

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Very nice @hartnn. Your way is the quickest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn so it will be : \(\large{ln (\cos x - \sin x)+C}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry there is mod instead of brackets

OpenStudy (amriju):

thats wrong...u should nt have played with our prestige in public...:P @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

with a negative sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why -ve ?

OpenStudy (amriju):

yeah..ofcrse

hartnn (hartnn):

d/dx(cos x-sin x) = -sin x-cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok got it :)
