Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\tan^32\text{x}\sec2\text{x dx}$

Answer

$\int\tan^32\text{x}\sec2\text{x}=\tan^22\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x}$
$=\big(\sec^22\text{x}-1\big)\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x}$
$=\sec^22\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x}-\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x}$
$\therefore\ \int\tan^32\text{x}\sec2\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\sec^22\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x dx}-\int\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x dx}$
$=\int\sec^22\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\sec2\text{x dx}-\frac{\sec2\text{x}}{2}+\text{C}$
Let $2\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\therefore\ 2\sec2\text{x}\tan2\text{x dx}=\text{dt}$
$\therefore\ \int\tan^32\text{x}\sec2\text{x dx}=\frac{1}{2}\int\text{t}^2\text{dt}-\frac{\sec2\text{x}}{2}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{\text{t}^3}{6}-\frac{\sec2\text{x}}{2}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{(\sec2\text{x})^3}{6}-\frac{\sec2\text{x}}{2}+\text{C}$
