integral of tan^3(x)(sec(x))

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

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

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

\int 1 d u = u

\int u^{2} d u = \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

= - u + \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{( sin ( x ) ) ^{3}}{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2}} d x

\int - cos (x) (e^{- x}) d x

\int x e^{x} + 2 d x

\int \frac{20}{x ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{2}{3 + cos ( x )} d x
