If we use the definition of tanx and write the integral as


tanxdx=sinxcosxdx 


we see that the numerator sinx is the derivative of the denominator (apart from the minus sign). Hence, the substitution u=cosx will work,


sinxcosxdx=u=cosxdu=cosxdx=sinxdx=udu=lnu+C=lncosx+C 


NOTE: lncosx+C is only a primitive function in intervals in which cosx=0.
