In summary, the integral of √tanx is a trigonometric integral that represents the area under the curve of the function √tanx and can be solved using trigonometric substitution or integration by parts. The domain of √tanx is all real numbers except for x values where tanx is undefined, and there is a formula for the integral of √tanx, which is ∫√tanx dx = ln|secx + tanx| + C. While some calculators may have the ability to solve this integral, it is important to understand the steps and concepts behind the solution and manually check the answer for accuracy.

everything looks right. and your final integrals = the one right before you did the partial fractions.

next step? integration by parts? advice ... I've gone blind.

FAQ: What is the Integral of the Square Root of Tangent of X?

What is the integral of √tanx?

The integral of √tanx is a trigonometric integral that represents the area under the curve of the function √tanx. It can be written as ∫√tanx dx.

How do I solve the integral of √tanx?

To solve the integral of √tanx, you can use trigonometric substitution or integration by parts. It is important to remember to check for any special cases, such as when the integral is undefined or when the limits of integration are outside the domain of √tanx.

What is the domain of √tanx?

The domain of √tanx is all real numbers except for x values where tanx is undefined, which occur at odd multiples of π/2.

Is there a formula for the integral of √tanx?

Yes, there is a formula for the integral of √tanx, which is ∫√tanx dx = ln|secx + tanx| + C. This formula can be derived using trigonometric identities and integration techniques.

Can I use a calculator to find the integral of √tanx?

Some calculators may have the ability to solve the integral of √tanx, but it is important to understand the steps and concepts behind the solution rather than relying solely on a calculator. Additionally, it is always a good idea to manually check the answer obtained from a calculator to ensure accuracy.
