Question
Evalute the following integrals:
$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$

Answer

We have,
$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$
$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}}\text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\int\sec\frac{\text{x}}{2}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\int\text{cosec}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\text{dx}$
$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\log\Big|\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)\Big|+\text{C}$
$\because\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}=\sqrt{2}\log\Big|\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)\Big|+\text{C}$
