integral of (sin^4(x))/(cos^4(x))

\int \frac{sin ^{4} ( x )}{cos ^{4} ( x )} d x

\frac{1}{3} tan^{3} (x) + x - tan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{sin ^{4} ( x )}{cos ^{4} ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int tan^{4} (x) d x

Apply Integral Reduction

= \frac{tan ^{3} ( x )}{3} - \int tan^{2} (x) d x

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

= \frac{tan ^{3} ( x )}{3} - (- x + tan (x))

Simplify

\frac{tan ^{3} ( x )}{3} - (- x + tan (x)) : \frac{1}{3} tan^{3} (x) + x - tan (x)

= \frac{1}{3} tan^{3} (x) + x - tan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} tan^{3} (x) + x - tan (x) + C

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

\int \frac{5}{x + 1 + x} d x

\int (sec (x) + csc^{2} (x)) d x

\int θ e^{- θ x} d x

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