Answer

$$\int\sec^22\theta d\theta=\frac{1}{2}\tan(2\theta)+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int\sec^22\theta d\theta$$ Let $u=2\theta$ Then $du=2d\theta$. So $d\theta=\frac{1}{2}du$ Substitute into $A$, we have $$A=\int\sec^2u(\frac{1}{2})du$$ $$A=\frac{1}{2}\int \sec^2udu$$ $$A=\frac{1}{2}(\tan u)+C$$ $$A=\frac{1}{2}\tan(2\theta)+C$$
