We are asked to solve the integral:


{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \int (dx)/(\cos^(2)(x)-\tan (x)\cos^(2)(x))}

Re write as


{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \int \frac{dx}{\cos^(2)(x)\{1-\tan (x)\}}}

Using (1/cos x) = sec(x), we have


{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \int (\sec^(2)(x)dx)/(1-\tan (x))}

Now, substitute 1 - tan (x) = t, so that -dt = sec²(x) dx


{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf -\int (1)/(t)dt}


t


{:\implies \quad \boxed+C}

Where, C is any Arbitrary Constant
