Evaluate the indefinite integral of f(x) = (sin x + cos x)/(sin x - cos x).

We'll determine the indefinite integral by changing the
variable.


We'll note the denominator sin x - cos x =
t(x)


We'll differentiate the
denominator:


(sin x - cos x)' = [cos x - (-sin
x)]dx


(cos x + sin x)dx
= dt


We'll notice that the numerator of the function is the
result of differentiating the function.


We'll calculate the
integral:


Int f(x) = Int
dt/t


Int dt/t = ln |t| + C


But
t = sin x - cos x


Int f(x) = ln|sin x - cos
x| + C
