Evaluate the integral: {eq}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln(2 \sec x) \, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}.
Question:
Evaluate the integral: {eq}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln(2 \sec x) \, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}.
Integral:
Some important rules of integrals are as follows:
1. {eq}\int [f(x)+g(x)]\ dx = \int f(x)\ dx +\int g(x)\ dx {/eq}
2. {eq}\int [f(x)-g(x)]\ dx = \int f(x)\ dx -\int g(x)\ dx {/eq}
3. {eq}\int [f(x) \cdot g(x)]\ dx = f(x)\int g(x) dx- \int \left[\frac{df(x)}{dx}\int g(x)\ dx \right]\ dx {/eq}

{eq}P=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln(\sec x)dx\\ Q=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln(\csc x)dx {/eq}
Let us find the Sum P+Q and...
