remember key trigonometric identities that can help you in intergration
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
1 + tan^2 = sec^2
1 + cot^2 + csc^2
Also you need to know the derivatives of trig functions
sinx ..... derivative cosx
cosx..... derivative -sinx
tanx ......derivative sec^2 x
cotx .... derivative -csc^2 x
secx.... derivative tanxsecx
cscx .... derivative -cotxcscx
the trig identities come in handy to do substitutions to obtain antiderivatives.
