Question
Write a value of $\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^3\text{x}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^3\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
Let $\cos\text{x}=\text{t}$
$-\sin\text{x dx}=\text{dt}$
$\sin\text{x dx}=-\text{dt}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=-\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{t}^3}$
$=-\int\text{t}^{-3}\text{dt}$
$=-\Big[\frac{\text{t}^{-3+1}}{-3+1}\Big]+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{2\text{t}^2}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{2\cos^2\text{x}}+\text{C}$ $(\because\text{t}=\cos\text{x})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\sec^2\text{x}+\text{C}$
