Could the answer also be xtan(x) + ln|cos (x)| + C?

xsec²xdx
u= x dv= sec²xdx du = dx v=tanx
xtanx -ln|secx| + C
tanx + xsec²x -tanx = xsec²x ✔️
So xsec²xdx= xtanx-ln|secx| + C

I plugged this into Wolfram Alpha and the result is xtan(x) + log(cos(x)) + C Why this different?

There's always another way to solve a problem ? ∫ x sec² x dx Let t= tan x , dt= sec² x dx ⇒ x= tan⁻¹ t ∫ tan⁻¹ t dt Do just a single IBP iteration: Put u= tan⁻¹ t , dv= dt ⇒ du= 1/(t²+1) dt , v= t ∫ u dv = u v – ∫ v du ∫ tan⁻¹ t dt = t tan⁻¹ t – ∫ t/(t²+1) dt ∫ tan⁻¹ t dt = t tan⁻¹ t – ½ ln(t²+1) + C Back-substitute to x: ∫ x sec² x dx = x tan x – ½ ln(tan² x + 1) + C ∫ x sec² x dx = x tan x – ½ ln(sec² x) + C ∫ x sec² x dx = x tan x – ln|sec x| + C
