$\frac{3}{4} \cdot (\sec (x) \tan (x))$

Step 1

Write $\frac{3}{4} \cdot (\sec (x) \tan (x))$ as a function.

$f (x) = \frac{3}{4} \cdot (\sec (x) \tan (x))$

Step 2

The function $F (x)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Step 3

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int \frac{3}{4} \cdot (\sec (x) \tan (x)) d x$

Step 4

Step 4.1

Combine $\sec (x)$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ .

$\int \frac{\sec (x) \cdot 3}{4} \cdot \tan (x) d x$

Step 4.2

Combine $\frac{\sec (x) \cdot 3}{4}$ and $\tan (x)$ .

$\int \frac{\sec (x) \cdot 3 \tan (x)}{4} d x$

Step 4.3

Move $3$ to the left of $\sec (x)$ .

$\int \frac{3 \sec (x) \tan (x)}{4} d x$

Step 5

Since $\frac{3}{4}$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $\frac{3}{4}$ out of the integral.

$\frac{3}{4} \int \sec (x) \tan (x) d x$

Step 6

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

$\frac{3}{4} (\sec (x) + C)$

Step 7

Simplify.

$\frac{3}{4} \sec (x) + C$

Step 8

The answer is the antiderivative of the function $f (x) = \frac{3}{4} \cdot (\sec (x) \tan (x))$ .

$F (x) =$ $\frac{3}{4} \sec (x) + C$
