`int sec^2 (x/2)tan(x/2) dx` Find the indefinite integral

Indefinite integrals are written in the form of `int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`


 where: `f(x)` as the integrand


           `F(x)` as the anti-derivative function 


           `C `  as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


For the given problem `int sec^2(x/2)tan(x/2) dx ` has a integrand in the form of a trigonometric function.


To evaluate this, we may apply u-substitution by letting `u = tan(x/2)`...

Indefinite integrals are written in the form of `int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`


 where: `f(x)` as the integrand


           `F(x)` as the anti-derivative function 


           `C `  as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


For the given problem `int sec^2(x/2)tan(x/2) dx ` has a integrand in the form of a trigonometric function.


To evaluate this, we may apply u-substitution by letting `u = tan(x/2)` .


 Then, the derivative of `u` is:


`du = sec^2(x/2) *(1/2) dx`


 Rearrange this into `2 du= sec^2(x/2) dx` .


Plug-in the values on the `int sec^2(x/2)tan(x/2) dx `  , we get:


`int sec^2(x/2)tan(x/2) dx =int u *2 du`


 Apply the basic properties of integration: `int c*f(x) dx= c int f(x) dx` .


`int u *2 du =2int u du`  


Apply the Power Rule for integration:`int (x^n) dx = x^(n+1)/ (n+1) +C` .


`2int u du =2* u^(1+1)/(1+1) +C`


               `= 2 *u^2/2+C`


               `= u^2 +C`


Plug-in `u = tan(x/2)` on `u^2 +C` , we get the indefinite integral as:


`int sec^2(x/2)tan(x/2) dx =(tan(x/2))^2 +C`  or `tan^2(x/2) +C`
