∫(1/cos2x * sin2x /cos2x) dx
∫sin2x /cos^2(2x) dx
Let, u = cos2x
du = -2sin2x dx
-du/2 = sin2x dx
∫-du/2u^2
= 1/2u + c
= 1/2cos(2x) + c

yep the calculator is right

∫(1/cos2x * sin2x /cos2x) dx
∫sin2x /cos^2(2x) dx

Again make a substitution,
Let, u = cos2x
du = -2sin2x dx
-du/2 = sin2x dx

∫-du/2u^2
= 1/2u + c
= 1/2cos(2x) + c

Again u made a small mistake while substituting.

The calculator is correct. A factor of 1/2 emerges, due to the chain rule.
