Question:

$\int tan x(\sec x - \tan x) dx =$

Options:

sec x - tan x + x - C

sec x - tan2x + x - C

sec x + tan x + x + C

sec x - tan x + C

Correct Answer:

sec x - tan x + x - C

Explanation:

$\int tan x(\sec x - \tan x) dx$

$\int \sec x \tan x dx - \int \tan^2 x dx$

as 1 + tan2x = sec2x

so sec2x - 1 = tan2

= $\sec x - \int (\sec^2x - 1) dx$

so sec x - tan x + x - C
