Homework Statement
Evaluate the definite (from -0.3 to 0.3) integral ∫tanxdx
Homework Equations
(dy/dx)tanx=(secx)^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the anti-derivative, I got to (sec(0.3))^2-(sec(-0.3))^2, which gives approximately 2. However, if the derivative is sketched out, and the area underneath is found, the answer is then 0.
I found this happening with other similar questions as well. What could be going on?
