Rewriting both squared functions via the Pythagorean identities converts this into a sum of two directly-integrable terms and a constant.

Step 1. Apply the Pythagorean identities. cot⁡2x=csc⁡2x−1\cot^2x=\csc^2x-1 and tan⁡2x=sec⁡2x−1\tan^2x=\sec^2x-1, so cot⁡2x+tan⁡2x=sec⁡2x+csc⁡2x−2\cot^2x+\tan^2x=\sec^2x+\csc^2x-2.

Step 2. Integrate term by term. ∫sec⁡2x dx=tan⁡x\displaystyle\int\sec^2x\,dx=\tan x, ∫csc⁡2x dx=−cot⁡x\displaystyle\int\csc^2x\,dx=-\cot x, ∫(−2)dx=−2x\displaystyle\int(-2)dx=-2x. …
