Finding Indefinite Integrals


In Exercises 17–56, find the most general antiderivative or indefinite integral. You may need to try a solution and then adjust your guess. Check your answers by differentiation.


∫(1 + tan²θ)dθ (Hint:1 + tan²θ = sec²θ)

Recognize the integral given: \(\int (1 + \tan^{2}\theta) \, d\theta\).
Use the hint provided, which states that \(1 + \tan^{2}\theta = \sec^{2}\theta\). Substitute this into the integral to simplify it to \(\int \sec^{2}\theta \, d\theta\).
Recall the basic integral formula: \(\int \sec^{2}x \, dx = \tan x + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Apply this formula to the integral, replacing \(x\) with \(\theta\), so the antiderivative is \(\tan \theta + C\).
Verify your result by differentiating \(\tan \theta + C\) to check if it returns the original integrand \(1 + \tan^{2}\theta\).
