SUMMARY
The integral of tan(x)sec^2(x) dx can be approached by recognizing that it simplifies to tan(x) * sec^2(x) dx. This integral can be solved using substitution, specifically letting u = tan(x), which leads to du = sec^2(x) dx. The final result of the integral is (1/2)tan^2(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
