Q33 Integrate the functions $\frac{1}{1- \tan x }$

Answers (1)

Given function $\frac{1}{1- \tan x }$

Assume that $I = \int \frac{1}{1- \tan x } dx$

Now solving the assumed integral;

$I = \int \frac{1}{1-\frac{\sin x}{\cos x }} dx$

$= \int \frac{\cos x }{\cos x - \sin x } dx$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{2\cos x }{\cos x - \sin x } dx$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{(\cos x -\sin x ) +(\cos x +\sin x ) }{(\cos x - \sin x) } dx$

$=\frac{1}{2}\int 1 dx + \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\cos x +\sin x }{\cos x -\sin x } dx$

$=\frac{1}{2}(x) + \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\cos x +\sin x }{\cos x -\sin x } dx$

Now, to solve further we will assume $\cos x - \sin x =t$

Or, $(-\sin x-\cos x )dx =dt$

$\therefore I = \frac{x}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{-(dt)}{t}$

$= \frac{x}{2}- \frac{1}{2}\log|t| +C$

Now, back substituting the value of t,

$= \frac{x}{2}- \frac{1}{2}\log|\cos x - \sin x| +C$
