Step By step show integration plzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}\frac{ (\sec(x))^2 }{ (cosec(x))^2 }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

try converting everything into sin and cos see if it helps simplifying the function to be integrated

hartnn (hartnn):

sec x= ... cosec x = ..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/cosx and 1/sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know trigonometry and rules of integration but ia m not able to do it.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right, because what we have is \[\large \frac{\frac{1}{cos^2(x)}}{\frac{1}{sin^2(x)}}\] which comes out to \[\large \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\] Which we know to be \[\large \tan^2(x)\] This integral looks alot better like \[\large \int^{}_{} tan^2(x)dx\]

hartnn (hartnn):

so basically you just need integration of tan^2 x , right ?

hartnn (hartnn):

oh he showed you

hartnn (hartnn):

now use the pythagorean identity involving tan^2 x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sec^2(x)-1

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right...

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, and you know the integration of sec^2 x ? pretty standard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tanx

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct and you must also be knowing integration of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ty

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome :)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

No problem :)
