Evaluate the integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it help to know that \[1-\sin^2(x)=\cos^2(x)\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how about this? \[\Large \frac{\sin(x)}{1-\sin^2(x)}\] \[\Large \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos^2(x)}\] \[\Large \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)*\cos(x)}\] \[\Large \frac{1}{\cos(x)}*\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\] \[\Large \sec(x)*\tan(x)\] does that help?

Final answer C?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because the derivative of sec(x) is sec(x)*tan(x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you have to think backwards in a way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I got it.
