Why is the answer you got obviously not right? I would say it is right.

Cause the answer is suppose to be 1/2(tanx)^2 -ln(secx)

so tanx^2 = secx^2 -1, and the -1 gets absorbed into the constant of integration.

Oh, yeah that would make sense. Is quite odd how two different things are exactly the same when you integrate them. Thanks.
