Theorem
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {1 + \sin x} = \map \tan {\frac x 2 - \frac \pi 4} + C$
Proof
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {1 + \sin a x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\frac 1 a \map \tan {\frac \pi 4 - \frac {a x} 2} + C\) | Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {1 + \sin a x}$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {1 + \sin x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\map \tan {\frac \pi 4 - \frac x 2} + C\) | setting $a \gets 1$ | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \tan {\frac x 2 - \frac \pi 4} + C\) | Tangent Function is Odd |
$\blacksquare$
