Let t=tan0.5x⇒dt=0.5sec^2 0.5xdx  dx=((2dt)/(1+t^2 ))  cosx=((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))⇒secx=((1+t^2 )/(1−t^2 ))  ∴∫secxdx=∫((1+t^2 )/(1−t^2 ))×(2/(1+t^2 ))dt  =∫((1/(1−t))+(1/(1+t)))dt  =ln∣1+t∣−ln∣1−t∣+C  =ln∣((1+t)/(1−t))∣+C  ∫secx dx=ln∣((1+tan0.5x)/(1−tan0.5x))∣+C

$${Let}\:{t}={tan}\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}{x}\Rightarrow{dt}=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}{sec}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}{xdx} \\ $$$${dx}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{dt}}{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${cosx}=\frac{\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }\Rightarrow{secx}=\frac{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\therefore\int{secxdx}=\int\frac{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }×\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{dt} \\ $$$$=\int\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{t}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{t}}\right){dt} \\ $$$$={ln}\mid\mathrm{1}+{t}\mid−{ln}\mid\mathrm{1}−{t}\mid+{C} \\ $$$$={ln}\mid\frac{\mathrm{1}+{t}}{\mathrm{1}−{t}}\mid+{C} \\ $$$$\int{secx}\:{dx}={ln}\mid\frac{\mathrm{1}+{tan}\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}{x}}{\mathrm{1}−{tan}\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}{x}}\mid+{C} \\ $$
