First write down the whole fuction using sines and cosines, then you will notice that the you can convert this as
the derivarive of denominator is equal to the numerator. 
I=\int \frac{tan(x)}{a+btan^2(x)} dx = \int \frac{sin(x)cos(x)}{a+(b-a)sin^2(x)} dx
=\frac{1}{2(b-a)}\int\frac{d}{dx} ln|a+(b-a)sin^2(x)|dx = \frac{1}{2(b-a)} ln|a+(b-a)sin^2(x)| + c

First, write down the whole function using sines and cosines
 
(int = symbol of integration)
 = a/b
b
 
 
int           sin(x)/cos(x)
         a + b.sin^2(x)/cos^2(x)
 
int             sin(x).cos(x)
          a.cos^2(x) + b.sin^2(x)
 
Let, a.cos^2(x) + b.sin^2(x) = t    ….........................eq ( i ) 
 
      a.cos(x)[-sin(x)].dx + b.2sin(x).cos(x).dx = dt 
 
      cos(x).sin(x).dx = dt.½.(b – a) ….......................eq ( ii )
 
 
 
 Therefore substituting the value of eq (i) and eq (ii) in the above question
 
int     [1/t.   dt.1/2(b – a)]
 
1/2(b – a)   int   dt/t      ….......................Since 1/2(b – a) is a constant
 
1/2(b – a) .  [loge|t|  + c]
 
1/2(b – a).loge |a.cos^2(x) + b.sin^2(x)| + c  …............ is the answer
