Re: ∫tan xHow can you rewrite this?(Original post by sabre2th1)
∫tan x =
∫(sin x/cos x)
Sin x/cos x is of the form f'(x)/f(x)
therefore the ∫sin x/cos x = -ln|cos x| + c
However, my book also states that the ∫tan x = ln|sec x| +c ? -

How can you rewrite this?
Just as you wrote this, I remembered ! Thanks
