Hello there!

I'll get you started down the road of how I would do this problem.  First 
of all, try carrying out that squaring operation, to get

Integral of (1 + 2Sec[x] + Sec^2[x]), and then notice that the derivative 
of Tangent is Secant squared.  So we've got that part of the integral 
nailed. The 1 part is pretty easy too, so all that's left is to integrate that
2Sec[x] term.  This is best done by looking up in a calculus book what 
the integral of Secant is.  

Hope this helps!
