What is the indefinite integral of the function 3sinx-4tan^2x ?

We'll apply the property of integral to be
additive:


Int [3sin x- 4(tan x)^2]dx = Int 3sin x dx - Int
4(tan x)^2 dx (*)


We'll solve the first integral from the
right side:


 Int 3sin dx = 3Int sin x dx= -3 cos x + C
(1)


Int 4(tan x)^2 dx = 4Int [(sec x)^2 -
1]dx


4Int [(sec x)^2 - 1]dx = 4Int (sec x)^2 dx - 4Int
dx


4Int [(sec x)^2 - 1]dx = 4 tan x - 4x + C
(2)


We'll substitute (1) and (2) in
(*):


Int [3sin x- 4(tan x)^2]dx = -3 cos x- 4 tan x + 4x +
C


The anti-derivative of the trigonometric
function 3sin x- 4(tan x)^2 is Int [3sin x- 4(tan x)^2]dx = -3 cos x- 4 tan x + 4x +
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 ...
