integral of sec(2x+4)

\int sec (2 x + 4) d x

\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (2 x + 4) + sec (2 x + 4) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int sec (2 x + 4) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int sec (u) \frac{1}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sec (u) d u = ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = 2 x + 4

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (2 x + 4) + sec (2 x + 4) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (2 x + 4) + sec (2 x + 4) ∣ + C
