Evaluate the indefinite integral.

OpenStudy (mony01):

\[\int\limits \frac{ dt }{ \cos ^{2}t \sqrt{1+\tan t}}\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

let u=1+tan(t)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

in general, letting u=(what's under the radical) is often the way to go here

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

For an interesting variation, you could try \(u^{2} = 1+\tan(t)\) and see where that leads.

OpenStudy (mony01):

@Turing Test du=sec^(2) x dx

OpenStudy (mony01):

@TuringTest du=sec^(2) x dx

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Write secant squared in terms of cosines, it might make more sense :o Remember your identity?

OpenStudy (mony01):

do you mean 1/cos^2 x

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yes

OpenStudy (mony01):

is the answer \[\sqrt{1+\tan(t)}+C\]
