That night, he wrote the substitution u = √(tan x). The page sighed. Then he let the pen rest. Some solutions are not answers. They are permission to stop. He closed the notebook and went to make tea. Please clarify which one you actually want (or both separately), and I’ll give a full response.
If you want all 100, I recommend finding Jim Coroneos' original booklet or checking online PDFs titled "100 Integrals (Worked Solutions)" – it's a known resource. Here is a very short literary draft: Title: The Last Integral
Elias never solved the hundredth integral. For forty years, he had filled notebooks with curled ribbons of symbols – ∫, dx, the patient grammar of calculus. Coroneos' list was his bible. Numbers 1 through 99 fell like dominoes. But number 100 – ∫ √(tan x) dx – refused.
"It's a trick," his granddaughter Mina said one winter evening, watching him erase for the tenth time.
∫ ln x dx → Integration by parts: u = ln x, dv = dx → du = (1/x) dx, v = x = x ln x - ∫ dx = x ln x - x + C
"No," Elias whispered. "It's a door."
∫ e^x cos x dx → Integration by parts twice (or use complex exponentials): result = (e^x (sin x + cos x))/2 + C
∫ x sin(x) dx → Integration by parts: let u = x, dv = sin x dx → du = dx, v = -cos x = -x cos x + ∫ cos x dx = -x cos x + sin x + C
