Question
By using an appropriate substitution find
\[\int {\frac{{\tan (\ln y)}}{y}{\text{d}}y,{\text{ }}y > 0{\text{ .}}} \]
Markscheme
Let \(u = \ln y \Rightarrow {\text{d}}u = \frac{1}{y}{\text{d}}y\) A1(A1)
\(\int {\frac{{\tan (\ln y)}}{y}{\text{d}}y} = \int {\tan u{\text{d}}u} \) A1
\( = \int {\frac{{\sin u}}{{\cos u}}{\text{d}}u = - \ln \left| {\cos u} \right| + c} \) A1
EITHER
\(\int {\frac{{\tan (\ln y)}}{y}{\text{d}}y} = - \ln \left| {\cos (\ln y)} \right| + c\) A1A1
OR
\(\int {\frac{{\tan (\ln y)}}{y}{\text{d}}y} = \ln \left| {\sec (\ln y)} \right| + c\) A1A1

Examiners report
Many candidates obtained the first three marks, but then attempted various methods unsuccessfully. Quite a few candidates attempted integration by parts rather than substitution. The candidates who successfully integrated the expression often failed to put the absolute value sign in the final answer.
