00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.262
Here is the problem: integrate sec(x) squared.

2
00:00:03.712 --> 00:00:09.343
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of sec(x) squared with respect to x.

3
00:00:10.143 --> 00:00:11.583
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:12.033 --> 00:00:15.400
the integral of sec squared u du equals tan u.

5
00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:18.927
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

6
00:00:19.727 --> 00:00:22.084
So the answer is tan(x) plus C.

7
00:00:22.534 --> 00:00:33.320
An antiderivative F satisfies F prime of x equals f(x). Because the derivative of any constant is 0, every antiderivative differs by a constant C.

8
00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:40.064
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
