The book gives a different answer, could this be another form?

Hello, here I worked a problem out and got a different answer than the book gave so I was wondering if it looks correct or not.

You could always try plugging in a few values for x to see...


Anyways... does

\frac{1}{1 + 1} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{1}

?

integral(cscx*sec^2(x)dx) does not equal the original integral.

1/(1-cos^2(x)) does not equal 1/cos^2(x)
you probably overlooked the one.
