Simplify Integral Expression: Step 1: Simplify the integral expression.We start by recognizing that the integral of the square root of the tangent function is not straightforward. We need to simplify or find a substitution that makes it easier to integrate.Calculation: ∫tanxdx
Choose Substitution: Step 2: Choose a substitution.Let u=tan(x), then du=sec2(x)dx. This substitution will transform the integral into a form involving u, which might be easier to integrate.Calculation: dx=sec2(x)du
Rewrite Using Substitution: Step 3: Rewrite the integral using the substitution.Substituting the values from Step 2, we get:∫[tanx]dx=∫[u⋅(1/sec2(x))]duSince sec2(x)=1+tan2(x)=1+u2, we have:∫[u⋅(1/(1+u2))]du
Attempt Integration: Step 4: Attempt to integrate the transformed expression.This integral looks complex and might not have a straightforward antiderivative in terms of elementary functions. We attempt integration:∫1+u2udu
