Step-by-Step Solution

Let I = ∫ [sec x / (sec x - tan x)] dx

Multiply numerator and denominator by (sec x + tan x):

I = ∫ [sec x (sec x + tan x) / (sec2 x - tan2 x)] dx

Since sec2 x - tan2 x = 1:

I = ∫ (sec2 x + sec x tan x) dx

Integrate each term separately:

I = ∫ sec2 x dx + ∫ sec x tan x dx

We know that ∫ sec2 x dx = tan x + c1 and ∫ sec x tan x dx = sec x + c2

Therefore, I = tan x + sec x + c, where c = c1 + c2

Correct Answer: sec x + tan x + c
