Denominator becomes 2cos(a+x)/2*cos(a-x)/2
Now multiply and divide by sin[ (a+x)/2+(a-x)/2 ]=sina
Expanding the numerator would then give tan(a+x)/2 + tan(a-x)/2
But we obviously know the integral of tanz with respect to z is lnsecz.
Hence simply put (a+x)/2= z and (a-x)/2 = y for the first and second integral respectively.
