derivative and integral of arcsec(x)


We can use the derivative of arcsec(x) to find the integral of it using integration by parts. Then we do a simple trigonometric substitution and we are home free.

steps:
1) Integration by parts where u = arcsec(x) and dv = dx
2) Trigonometric Substitution where x = sec(θ) and dx = sec(θ)tan(θ)dθ
