Answer:


2(\tan(x))^(1)/(2)+C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let
u=\tan(x).

Therefore,
du=\sec^2(x)dx or
du=(\sec(x))^2dx.


\int ((\sec(x))^2 dx)/(√(\tan(x)))

Putting the integral in terms of
u now:


\int (du)/(√(u))

or


\int (1)/(√(u)) du

or


\int (1)/(u^(1)/(2))du

or


\int u^(-1)/(2) du

Let's integrate now:


\frac{u^{(-1)/(2)+1}}{(-1)/(2)+1}+C


\frac{u^{(1)/(2)}}{(1)/(2)}+C


(2)/(2) \frac{u^{(1)/(2)}}{(1)/(2)}+C


\frac{2u^{(1)/(2)}}{1}+C


2u^{(1)/(2)}+C

Putting back in terms of
x:


2(\tan(x))^(1)/(2)+C
