Integrate tan(x)^2 with respect to x

sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 = 1 divide by cos(x)2 tan(x)2 + 1 = sec(x)2 therefore tan(x)2 = sec(x)2 - 1 integral of sec(x)2 - 1 rwt x = tan(x) - x + C therefore the integral of tan(x)2 rwt x = tan(x) - x + C

How do I find the root of a quadratic equation?


Given that y=(4x-3)^3 x sin2x find dy/dx


The finite region S is bounded by the y-axis, the x-axis, the line with equation x = ln4 and the curve with equation y = ex + 2e–x , (x is greater than/equal to 0). The region S is rotated through 2pi radians about the x-axis. Use integration to find the


When integrating, why do we add a constant to the resulting equation?
