Integration take 3.

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\sec^2 x \tan^2x dx\]

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

For starting, would I use by parts or substitution on this one?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

sub

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Then would I let u = (sec x tan x)?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

no

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Could I just do it by inspection?

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Well, even so, how would I do it by sub?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

u=tan(x)

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

By inspection, the answer is (tan^3 x)/3 + C.

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Okay, lemme try.

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Oh. That was easy. I got the same answer, thanks. ^-^
