How do you evaluate the integral of tan^3x sec^2x dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try \[u=\tan(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correction. Its the integral of (tan^3)x(sec^2)xdx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[du=\sec^2(x)dx\] giving \[\int u^3du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know you break it into this: (tan^2)x(sec^2)xtanxdx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4 tan^4x +C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no don't break it. it is a straight forward u - sub

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what my teacher wants.
