Evaluate the integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.)

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[\int\limits 4 \tan^3x \sec x dx\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Here is what i did.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[4 \int\limits \tan x \sec x (\tan^2 x) dx\] \[4 \int\limits \tan x \sec x (\sec^2x -1) dx\] u = sec x du=secxtanx \[4 \int\limits (u^2 -1) du\] \[4 \left[ \frac{ u^3 }{ 3 } -x \right]\] \[\frac{ 4 \sec^3x }{ 3 } - 4x\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

So my answer was \[\frac{ 4 \sec^3 x }{ 3 } - 4x +C\] But it is saying that my answer is wrong. Can someone please check my work and answer. I only have 1 more attempt at the right answer.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

line 5 you put x in instead of u

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[4\left[ \int\limits u^2 - \int\limits 1\right]\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Dont you do that?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the integral of 1 du = u

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh okay.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yw

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Thanks. lol
