integral of (sec^2(x))/(a+btan(x))

\int \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{a + b tan ( x )} d x

\frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a + b tan (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{a + b tan ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{b u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{b} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = a + b tan (x)

= \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a + b tan (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a + b tan (x) ∣ + C
