integral of tan(12x)

\int tan (12 x) d x

- \frac{1}{12} ln ∣ cos (12 x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int tan (12 x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( 12 x )}{cos ( 12 x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{1}{12 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{12} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - \frac{1}{12} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = cos (12 x)

= - \frac{1}{12} ln ∣ cos (12 x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{12} ln ∣ cos (12 x) ∣ + C
