for this question (int. with respect to x):
$\int_{\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{-2}}^{1} 2sec^{2}x$

the answer I get in degrees is 0.0651. However in the CSSA solutions booklet the answer is worked out in radians (5.466). Do I use degrees or radians for these integrations?

$\int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{1}2\sec^2 x\: dx$

$=2\tan x$ With the limits.

$=5.466$ . You use radians.
