Answer

$3 \ln |\sec (2x-4)+\tan (2x-4) | +C$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to solve the integral $ \int 6 \sec (2x-4) \ dx$ Let us consider that $a =(2x-4)$ and $\dfrac{da}{dx}=2 \implies dx=\dfrac{1}{2} \ da$ Now, $ \int 6 \sec (2x-4) \ dx = \int 6 \sec a \times (\dfrac{1}{2}) \ da$ or, $= 3 \int \sec a \ da$ or, $=3 \ln |\sec a+\tan a | +C$ or, $=3 \ln |\sec (2x-4)+\tan (2x-4) | +C$
