integral of tan^3(t)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

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 (t)

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{12 x}{( 3 x ^{2} - 9 ) ^{5}} d x

\int (2 x + cos (x)) d x

\int 7 x^{\frac{4}{7}} d x

\int \frac{x ^{3} - x + 1}{x ^{2} ( x - 1 ) ^{3}} d x

\int (\frac{- 4 x - 4 x ^{5}}{x ^{2}} + 5 e^{7 x}) d x
