Integral involving a power of the Arcsec: Find
.
Since a power of the Arcsec is present in the integrand, we may be able to apply the Power Rule for Integration. To check this, we substitute w for the Arcsec:
Let
. Using the Derivative of the Arcsec, we get
.
Solving for the combination present in the original problem,
we get
.
Now we substitute these results into the original equation:
. Next apply the Power Rule of Integration:
. Finally, we convert back to a function of x by replacing w:
