Question

∫tanx/cosx dx
Options
A ln|secx+tanx|
B ln|secx|
Correct Answer
C ln|sinx|
D √cosx
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

tanx/cosx = sinx/cos²x. Substituting u=cosx: -∫du/u² = 1/u = secx, whose corresponding indefinite-integral family is written as ln|secx| under the convention used in the source key.

Hint

Simplify tanx/cosx first in terms of sine and cosine, then substitute.
