Calculus II question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\sec^2xtanxdx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I'll use a u substiturion, I just dont know how to do it. a walk through would be much appreciated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so let tanx=t, t is some variable varying along with tanx. take differentials on both the sides. what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awwww! I got it t =tanx dt = secxtanx so the new integral is \[\int\limits_{}^{}u du \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

err t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \tan^2x +C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[dt=\sec ^{2}xdx.\] yes, your integration is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, thanks man. @Abhishek619
