integral of-2sec(x)tan(x)

\int - 2 sec (x) tan (x) d x

- 2 sec (x) + C

Solution steps

\int - 2 sec (x) tan (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 \cdot \int sec (x) tan (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 2 \cdot \int 1 d u

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

= - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot sec (x)

Simplify

= - 2 sec (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 sec (x) + C
