use the double angle formula for cos(2x) which is: cos(2x)=2cos^2(x)-1 by this relation cos^2(x)=(cos(2x)+1)/2 now we'd integrate this instead this will give sin(2x)/4+x/2 =) hope this helps

Sin squared, cos squared...you removed the x in the equation.
2 x cosine squared x -1 which also equals cos (2x)

tan(x) + C d/dx tan(x) = d/dx (sin(x))/(cos(x)) = (sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))/(cos^2(x)) = 1/(cos^2(x)) = sec^2(x) NEVER FORGET THE CONSTANT!
(2 sin^2 x - 1)/(sin x - cos x) = sin x + cos x (sin^2 x + sin^2 x - 1)/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x [sin^2 x - (1 - sin^2 x)]/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x (sin^2 x - cos^2 x)/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x [(sin x - cos x)(sin x + cos x)]/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x sin x + cos x = sin x + cos x
