Evaluate {eq}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^2(t) \, \mathrm{d}t {/eq}.
Question:
Evaluate {eq}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^2(t) \, \mathrm{d}t {/eq}.
Definite Integrals:
The definite integral is solved by using the integration formula. The value of the converging definite integral is finite and can be measurable. The diverging integral will have an infinite value.

We have to solve the definite integral as follows:
{eq}\begin{align} \int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\sec ^2\left(t\right)dt &= \left[\tan...
