integral of (cos(x)-sec^2(x))

\int (cos (x) - sec^{2} (x)) d x

sin (x) - tan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int cos (x) - sec^{2} (x) d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int cos (x) d x - \int sec^{2} (x) d x

\int cos (x) d x = sin (x)

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

= sin (x) - tan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= sin (x) - tan (x) + C
