Using the appropriate identity in Table 2.10.4, and the obvious algebraic manipulations, the alternate form of the solution, namely,
can be obtained from the Maple solution.
A stepwise solution that uses top-level commands except for one application of the Change command from the IntegrationTools package:

Let be the name of the given integral.

|
Use the Change command to apply the change of variables .

|
Simplify the radical to . Note the restriction imposed on .
(Maple believes that the sine and cosine functions are "simpler" than secants and tangents.)

Use the value command to evaluate the integral, or follow the approach in Table 6.3.17, below.

The stepwise solution provided by the
tutor when the Constant, Constant Multiple, and Sum rules are taken as Understood Rules begins with the substitution that results in the calculations shown in Table 6.3.14(a). Note that the final step of replacing with has been deleted because the resulting expression is not simplified by the tutor.

On the other hand, Table 6.3.14(b) shows the result when the Change rule is imposed on the tutor. The trig identity must then be imposed by the Rewrite rule. After a second and third invocation of the Rewrite rule, the integral is in the form shown in the Mathematical Solution, above. Maple's stepwise solution will now proceed to re-derive the reduction formula that was derived in Example 6.2.9, and to re-derive the integral of that was derived in Example 6.2.5.
