Q. Answer the following True or False.\newline1secxdx=ln(secx)+C\int \frac{1}{\sec x}\,dx = \ln(\sec x) + C\newlineTrue\newlineFalse
  1. Simplify Integral: Let's first simplify the integral. The secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function, so 1/sec(x)1/\sec(x) is equivalent to cos(x)\cos(x). Therefore, the integral becomes:\newlinecos(x)dx\int \cos(x)\,dx
  2. Integrate cos(x)\cos(x): Now we integrate cos(x)\cos(x) with respect to xx. The antiderivative of cos(x)\cos(x) is sin(x)\sin(x), so:\newlinecos(x)dx=sin(x)+C\int \cos(x)\,dx = \sin(x) + C
  3. Compare Results: We compare our result with the given statement ln(secx)+C\ln(\sec x) + C. Since sin(x)\sin(x) is not equivalent to ln(secx)\ln(\sec x), the given statement is false.
