int. tan^4(x)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \tan ^{4}xdx\]

OpenStudy (jamesj):

First remember that 1 + tan^2 x = sec^2 x Hence \[ \tan^4 x = \tan^2 x (\sec^2 x - 1) \] Now ... expand that ... and can you see how to integrate each term?

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Remember also that \[ \frac{d \ }{dx} \tan x = \sec^2 x \]
