Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int(\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x})^2\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int(\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x})^2\text{dx}$
$=\int(\tan^2\text{x}+\cot^2\text{x}+2\tan\text{x}\cot\text{x})\text{dx}$
$=\int(\tan^2\text{x}+\cot^2\text{x}+2)\text{dx}$
$=\int\big[(\sec^2\text{x}-1)+(\text{cosec}^2\text{x}-1)+2\big]\text{dx}$
$=\int(\sec^2\text{x}+\text{cosec}^2\text{x})\text{dx}$
$=\tan\text{x}-\cot\text{x}+\text{C}$

Let $A =\{-1, 0, 1, 2\}, B = \{-4, -2, 0, 2\}$ and $f, g : A \rightarrow B $ be the functions defined by $f(x) = x^2 - x, x \in A$ and $g(x) = 2\left| {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right| - 1,x \in A$. Are $f$ and $g$ equal? Justify your answer.
(Hint: One may note that two functions $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : A \rightarrow B$ such that $f(a) = g(a)$ $\forall$ a $\in A,$ are called equal functions).
