integral of tan^5(x)

integral

tan^{5} (x)

ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ - sec^{2} (x) + \frac{sec ^{4} ( x )}{4} + C

Solution steps

\int tan^{5} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Expand

\frac{( - 1 + u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{u} : \frac{1}{u} - 2 u + u^{3}

= \int \frac{1}{u} - 2 u + u^{3} 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 2 u d u + \int u^{3} d u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

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

\int u^{3} d u = \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

= ln ∣ u ∣ - u^{2} + \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

= ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ - sec^{2} (x) + \frac{sec ^{4} ( x )}{4}

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ - sec^{2} (x) + \frac{sec ^{4} ( x )}{4} + C

x^{2} (1 + x^{3})

\frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}

d^{2} (v) v

\frac{1}{( 2 + x )}

cos (t^{3})
