Find the integral {eq}\int\frac{dx}{\cos^2x \sqrt{1+ \tan x}} {/eq}.
Question:
Find the integral {eq}\int\frac{dx}{\cos^2x \sqrt{1+ \tan x}} {/eq}.
Solving an Indefinite Integral Using u-Substitution
The question presents an indefinite integral. Using the famous u-substitution technique, we find an antiderivative of the integrand. The integrand function contains trigonometric functions and we use the u-substitution method to help us obtain an antiderivative. The u-substitution method can also be used to evaluate definite integrals quite effectively while changing the two limits of integration in the process.
