integral of tan^3(x)

integral

tan^{3} (x)

- ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ + \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{2} + C

Solution steps

\int tan^{3} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int (- 1 + sec^{2} (x)) tan (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{- 1 + u ^{2}}{u} d u

= \int \frac{- 1 + u ^{2}}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{- 1 + u ^{2}}{u} : - \frac{1}{u} + u

= \int - \frac{1}{u} + u d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - \int \frac{1}{u} d u + \int u d u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

\int u d u = \frac{u ^{2}}{2}

= - ln ∣ u ∣ + \frac{u ^{2}}{2}

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

= - ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ + \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ + \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{2} + C

\int \frac{cosh ( x )}{x} d x

\int \frac{1}{4 sin ( x ) + 3 cos ( x ) + 5} d x

\int 8 x^{4} e^{x^{5}} d x

\int \frac{cos ( 3 x )}{sin ^{5} ( 3 x )} d x

\int 3 x^{5} e^{x^{6}} d x
