ok, so i have a fairly simple integration by parts problem here but i am missing something.
it is integrate sec^2xtanxdx
i set it to be secx(secxtanx) and then i made u=secx du=secxtanxdx dv=secx(secxtanx)dx
so, then i got
integrate(secx(secxtanx)dx) = secxsecx - integrate(secx(secxtanx)dx)
and i am back where i started. what i am missing?
