Homework Statement


Integral [sec(x^2)/ 81 + tan (x^2)]


Homework Equations



sinx^2 + cos x^2=1
sec= 1/cos

The Attempt at a Solution



integral[ 1/81cos (x^2) + 81(sin(x^2)/cos(x^2))]
= 1/81 integral [1/ 1/cos(x^2)]= 1/8 integral[cos(x^2)]
= 1/8 sin(x^2)
This was my answer. But this is not right according to multiple choice quiz. Please let me know how to do this problem.

thanks.

Something makes me think finding the anti derivative won't be easy. But since this is a Multiple choice question, can you see how we can test each of those answers?
