CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Rewrite first: 1+cos⁡2x=2cos⁡2x1 + \cos 2x = 2\cos^2 x.

  2. Then each term is standard: tan⁡x2+C\frac{\tan x}{2} + C.

  3. Check: differentiating the answer gives back the integrand.

Worth noting

A power of a trig function has no direct standard form: the identity is what makes it integrable.
