Integral(1/(1 - cos(x)^2), (x, pi/4, 0))
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

  2. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

    1. Don't know the steps in finding this integral.

      But the integral is

    So, the result is:

  3. Add the constant of integration:


The answer is:
