Question
By using the substitution t=tanx, find ∫dx1+sin2x.
Express your answer in the form marctan(ntanx)+c, where m, n are constants to be determined.

EITHER
x=arctant (M1)
dxdt=11+t2 A1
OR
t=tanx
dtdx=sec2x (M1)
=1+tan2x A1
=1+t2
THEN
sinx=t√1+t2 (A1)
Note: This A1 is independent of the first two marks
∫dx1+sin2x=∫dt1+t21+(t√1+t2)2 M1A1
Note: Award M1 for attempting to obtain integral in terms of t and dt
=∫dt(1+t2)+t2=∫dt1+2t2 A1
=12∫dt12+t2=12×11√2arctan(t1√2) A1
=√22arctan(√2tanx)(+c) A1
