$\int \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 1

Let $u = \sec (x)$ . Then $d u = \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$ , so $\frac{1}{\sec (x) \tan (x)} d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 1.1.1

Differentiate $\sec (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\sec (x)]$

Step 1.1.2

The derivative of $\sec (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\sec (x) \tan (x)$ .

$\sec (x) \tan (x)$

Step 1.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$\int d u$

Step 2

Apply the constant rule.

$u + C$

Step 3

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $\sec (x)$ .

$\sec (x) + C$
