The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the integral \( \int \frac{1}{\sec x + \tan x} \, dx \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the integrand We start by rewriting the integrand in terms of sine and cosine. We know that: \[ \sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \] Thus, we can express the integral as: \[ \int \frac{1}{\sec x + \tan x} \, dx = \int \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\cos x} + \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}} \, dx \] Now, we can combine the terms in the denominator: \[ = \int \frac{1}{\frac{1 + \sin x}{\cos x}} \, dx = \int \frac{\cos x}{1 + \sin x} \, dx \] ### Step 2: Substitution Next, we will use substitution. Let: \[ t = \sin x \] Then, the derivative of \( t \) with respect to \( x \) is: \[ \frac{dt}{dx} = \cos x \quad \Rightarrow \quad dt = \cos x \, dx \] Now we can rewrite the integral in terms of \( t \): \[ \int \frac{\cos x}{1 + \sin x} \, dx = \int \frac{dt}{1 + t} \] ### Step 3: Integrate Now we can integrate: \[ \int \frac{dt}{1 + t} = \ln |1 + t| + C \] ### Step 4: Substitute back Finally, we substitute back \( t = \sin x \): \[ \ln |1 + \sin x| + C \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final result of the integral is: \[ \int \frac{1}{\sec x + \tan x} \, dx = \ln |1 + \sin x| + C \] ---
