Step 1.2.1

Raise $\sec (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\int \sec^{1} (x) \sec (x) + \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 1.2.2

Raise $\sec (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\int \sec^{1} (x) \sec^{1} (x) + \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 1.2.3

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\int {\sec (x)}^{1 + 1} + \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 1.2.4

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\int \sec^{2} (x) + \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 2

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int \sec^{2} (x) d x + \int \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 3

Since the derivative of $\tan (x)$ is $\sec^{2} (x)$ , the integral of $\sec^{2} (x)$ is $\tan (x)$ .

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

Step 4

Since the derivative of $\sec (x)$ is $\sec (x) \tan (x)$ , the integral of $\sec (x) \tan (x)$ is $\sec (x)$ .

$\tan (x) + C + \sec (x) + C$

Step 5

Simplify.

$\tan (x) + \sec (x) + C$
