Integral(tan(t), (t, 0, 1))
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

    tan(t)=sin(t)cos(t)\tan{\left(t \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(t \right)}}{\cos{\left(t \right)}}

  2. Let u=cos(t)u = \cos{\left(t \right)}.

    Then let du=sin(t)dtdu = - \sin{\left(t \right)} dt and substitute du- du:

    (1u)du\int \left(- \frac{1}{u}\right)\, du

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

      1udu=1udu\int \frac{1}{u}\, du = - \int \frac{1}{u}\, du

      1. The integral of 1u\frac{1}{u} is log(u)\log{\left(u \right)}.

      So, the result is: log(u)- \log{\left(u \right)}

    Now substitute uu back in:

    log(cos(t))- \log{\left(\cos{\left(t \right)} \right)}

  3. Add the constant of integration:

    log(cos(t))+constant- \log{\left(\cos{\left(t \right)} \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

log(cos(t))+constant- \log{\left(\cos{\left(t \right)} \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}
