$Let I(a) = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{ (e^{-x} - e^{-ax}) }{xsecx} dx$

$\frac{dI}{da} = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{\partial}{\partial a} \frac{ (e^{-x} - e^{-ax}) }{xsecx} dx$

$= \int_0^{\infty} \frac{ x e^{-ax} }{xsecx} dx$

$= \int_0^{\infty} e^{-ax} cosx dx$

$= \left [ \frac{ e^{-ax} }{a^2 + 1}(-acosx + sinx) \right ]_0^{\infty}$

$= \frac{a }{a^2 + 1}$

$\text{I(a)} = \frac{1}{2} log(a^2+1) - \frac{1}{2} log(2) + C$

$\text{When a = 1, I(1) = } \frac{1}{2} log(a^2+1) + C$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} log(a^2+1) + C$

$C = - \frac{1}{2} log(2)$

$I (a) = \frac {1}{2} log\frac{a^2+1}{2} -\frac{1}{2}log2 \\$

$= \frac{1}{2} log \frac{(a^2 + 1)}{2} \\$
