integral from-pi/4 to pi/4 of 6sec^2(x)

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} 6 sec^{2} (x) d x

12

Solution steps

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} 6 sec^{2} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 6 \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} sec^{2} (x) d x

Use the common integral:

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

= 6 [tan (x)]_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}}

Compute the boundaries:

2

= 6 \cdot 2

Simplify

= 12
