Use integration tables to find the indefinite integral.

Indefinite integral are written in the form of

 where: as the integrand


            as the anti-derivative function 


             as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


For the given problem it has a integrand in a form of  inverse secant function. The integral resembles one of the formulas from the integration as :   .


where we use:  if


                    if 


Selecting the sign between and will be crucial when solving for definite integral with given boundary values .


 For easier comparison, we may apply u-substitution by letting:


then or


Plug-in the values , we get:



                                       


Apply the basic properties of integration: .



                         or


Applying the aforementioned formula from the integration table, we get:



                               


                               


Plug-in on , we get the indefinite integral as:
