Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan x-\sec x+C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let
\[
\begin{aligned}
I &=\int \frac{\sec x}{\sec x+\tan x} d x \\
&=\int \frac{\sec x(\sec x-\tan x)}{\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} x} d x \\
&=\int\left(\sec ^{2} x-\sec x \tan x\right) d x \\
&=\tan x-\sec x+C
\end{aligned}
\]
