The answer is #=-cosx+C#

Perform this integral by substitution

Let #u=1/secx#

#=>#, #du=-(secxtanx)/sec^2xdx=-tanx/secxdx#

The integral is

#I=int(tanxdx)/(secx)=int(-du)#

#=-u#

#=-1/secx#

#=-cosx+C#

#-cosx + c #

#c in RR #

#=> int sinx / cosx * 1/ secx dx #

#=> int sinx/ cosx * cosx dx #

#=> int sinx dx #

#=> -cosx + c #
