Integral of \( \displaystyle \tan^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)} \)

Problem 4.222 · easy

Find \( \displaystyle \int \tan^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int \tan^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)}\, dx \]
    integralStart with the integral of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \int \left(\sec^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)} - 1\right)\, dx \]
    trig-identityUse the identity tan(u)**2 = sec(u)**2 - 1.Reviewed
  3. \[ = - \int 1\, dx + \int \sec^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)}\, dx \]
    linearitySplit the integral into two parts.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = - x + \int \sec^{2}{\left(x + 1 \right)}\, dx \]
    antiderivativeIntegrate the constant term.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = - x + \tan{\left(x + 1 \right)} \]
    antiderivativeIntegrate the secant squared term.Reviewed
Answer \( - x + \tan{\left(x + 1 \right)} + C \)

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-03 with SymPy 1.14.0.
