As we have learned

Integration of trigonometric function of power m -

\int tan^{m}xdx , \int cot^{m}xdx

 

 

- wherein

for m=2

use tan^{2}x=sec^{2}x-1  , cot^{2}x=cosec^{2}x-1

 

\int \left ( \sec ^{2} x -1+ \csc ^{2} x-1\right )dx

\int \left ( \sec^{2} + \csc^{2}x -2\right )dx 

\tan x + \cot x -2x+C

\tan x + \cot x +C

This is incorrect

Option 2)

\tan x + \cot x -2+C

This is incorrect

Option 3)

\tan x + \cot x -2x +C

This is correct
