General antiderivative of sec^2(x) - 5
Let . Find the general antiderivative of .
Hint
Apply the antiderivative rules term by term: recall that the antiderivative of is , and the antiderivative of a constant is . Don't forget the arbitrary constant.
Step-by-step solution
Since antidifferentiation is linear, we can find the antiderivative of each term separately: and .
Using the known rule and , combine these results and add a single arbitrary constant to get .
