Here is the problem: integrate sec(x)tan(x) dx.

2
00:00:04.548 --> 00:00:10.341
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of sec(x) tan(x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:11.141 --> 00:00:12.581
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:13.031 --> 00:00:16.978
the integral of sec u tan u du equals sec u.

5
00:00:17.428 --> 00:00:20.423
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

6
00:00:21.223 --> 00:00:23.475
So the answer is sec(x) plus C.

7
00:00:23.925 --> 00:00:35.117
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
00:00:35.917 --> 00:00:41.815
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
