Integrate sin x/cos^2 x from 0 to π.
Sol. S 0 to π sin x/cos^2 x dx
Let cos x =u
-sin x dx =du
sin x dx=-du
When x=0 u=cos 0=1
x=π, cos π= -1
S -1 to 1 -du/u^2=S -1 to 1 -u^-2 du=-( u^-2+1/-2+1)-1 to 1=1/u )-1 to 1=-1-1=-2.
Or
S 0 to π sin x/cos^2 x=S 0 to π sec x tan x dx = sec x)0 to π=sec π-sec 0=
=-1 -1 =-2.
