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

Answer

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