What is integral of #tan^2(x) sec^4(x) dx?# Calculus Techniques of Integration Integration by Trigonometric Substitution 1 Answer Manikandan S. Feb 16, 2015 Another way of seeing this problem #I = inttan^2(x)sec^4(x)dx# # = inttan^2(x)(1+tan^2(x))^2dx# #u = tan(x)# then #dx = (du)/(1+u^2)# #=int(u^2(1+u^2)^2/(1+u^2))du# #=int(u^2+u^4)du# #=u^3/3+u^5/5+C# #I=tan^3(x)/3+tan^5(x)/5+C# Answer link Related questions How do you find the integral #int1/(x^2*sqrt(x^2-9))dx# ?
