Concept Used:
tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).
Hence, the integral can be rewritten as:
∫ tan(x) dx = ∫ (sin(x) / cos(x)) dx.
We use substitution to simplify this expression.
Calculation:
Let cos(x) = u, then:
du = -sin(x) dx.
Substituting these into the integral:
∫ (sin(x) / cos(x)) dx = ∫ (-1 / u) du.
The integral of -1 / u is:
-ln |u| + C.
Substituting back u = cos(x):
-ln |cos(x)| + C.
∴ The solution to ∫ tan(x) dx is:
-ln(cos(x)) + C.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
