Integration of tan^3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan x(tan^2x)= tanx(sec^2x -1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tanx(sec^2x -1) = tanx sec^2x - tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now do the integration...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should tanx - log something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the right answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes tanx- ln I secx I +c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer will be tan^2x /2 - ln I secx I +c
