What is the indefinite integral of 1/x(ln^2x + 9) x > 0 ?

To solve the indefinite integral of the given function,
we'll use the substitution technique.


We'll put ln x =
t.


We'll differentiate both
sides:


dx/x = dt


We'll
re-write the function in t and we'll calculate the indefinite
integral:


Int f(x)dx = Int dt/(t^2 +
9)


We'll use the identity:


Int
dx/(x^2 + a^2) = [arctan (x/a)]/a + C


Comparing, we'll
get:


Int dt/(t^2 + 3^2) = [arctan (t/3)]/3 +
C


The indefinite integral of f(x) is: Int
f(x)dx = [arctan (ln x/3)]/3 + C

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
