A stepwise solution that uses top-level commands except for one application of the Change command from the IntegrationTools package:
Initialization

•
|
Install the IntegrationTools package.

Let be the name of the given integral.
|
|
|
Change variables as per Table 6.3.1
|
•
|
Use the Change command to apply the change of variables .
|
|
|
•
|
Simplify the radical to . Note the restriction imposed on .
(Maple believes that the cosine function is "simpler" than the secant.)
|
|
|
•
|
Use the value command to evaluate the integral, or follow the approach in Table 6.3.18(b), below.
|
|
|
•
|
Revert the change of variables by applying the substitution .

From Figure 6.3.3, . Note how the simplification isolates the additive constant of integration, .
The stepwise solution provided by the
tutor when the Constant, Constant Multiple, and Sum rules are taken as Understood Rules begins with the substitution and proceeds as shown in Table 6.3.18(a).

The integrand has been simplified without any restriction on ; hence, the absolute value of appears. The only way to proceed in the tutor is via the Rewrite rule whereby is simply replaced with , at which point the stepwise code will re-derive the antiderivative of as per Table 6.2.10.
