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:
