How may be solved the indefinite integral of y=tanx/cosx(sinx+cosx)?

We'll re-arrange the denominator of the fraction,
factorizing by cos x:


y = tan x/[(cos x)^2*(sin x/cos x +
1)]


But sin x/cos x = tan x


y
= tan x/[(cos x)^2*(tan x + 1)]


We also know that 1/(cos
x)^2 = [(tan x)^2 + 1]


The fraction will
become:


y = (tan x)*[(tan x)^2 + 1]/(tan x +
1)


Now, we'll calculate the indefinite
integral:


Int ydx = Int (tan x)*[(tan x)^2 + 1]dx/(tan x +
1)


We'll substitute tan x =
t


x = arctan t => dx = dt/(1 +
t^2)


We'll re-write the
integral:


Int ydx = Int (t)*[(t)^2 + 1]dt/(1 + t^2)*(t+
1)


We'll simplify by (1 + t^2) and we'll
get:


Int tdt/(t+ 1) = Int (t+1)dt/(t+1) - Int
dt/(t+1)


Int tdt/(t+ 1) = Int dt - Int
dt/(t+1)


Int tdt/(t+ 1) = t - ln |t+1| +
C


We'll substitute t by tan x and we'll
get:


Int tanx dx/cosx(sinx+cosx) = tan x - ln
|tan x + 1| + 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 ...
