Answer

\[I=-\ln |\cos x|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int \tan x\:dx\;\;\;\;\] \[I=\int\left(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)dx\;\;\;\;...(1)\] Make a substitution $\;\;t=\cos x\;\;\;...(2)$ \[\Rightarrow dt=-\sin x\;dx\] (1) becomes \[I=-\int\frac{1}{t}dt\] \[I=-\ln |t|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration From (2) \[I=-\ln |\cos x|+C\] Hence \[I=-\ln |\cos x|+C\;.\]
