integral of tan^2(x)

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

- x + tan (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int - 1 + 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 1 d x + \int sec^{2} (x) d x

\int 1 d x = x

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

= - x + tan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - x + tan (x) + C
