AGAIN INTEGRATION ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}\tan ^{2}(2x-3)dx{}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start off by using trigonometric identities: tan^2x=sec^2x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I'm sure you can finish the rest from there!! if you integrate sec^2x, you get tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but remember there is a linear function inside the trig function!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if you integrate a constant, you get kx :) the rest should be easy! The final answer should be: -(x+1/2*tan(3-2x))

OpenStudy (raden):

first, use int by u-sub let u = 2x - 3 du = 2 dx dx = 1/2 du see your integration becomes 1/2 int (tan^2 (u)) du = 1/2 int(sec^2 (u) - 1) = 1/2 ( tan(u) - u) + c dont forget : substitute back that u = 2x-3
