What is the Integral of tan^5(x) dx?

1 Answer

int tan^5 x dx=1/4tan^4 x -1/2*tan^2 x+ln sec x+C

Explanation:

The given is to find int tan^5 x dx

Solution:

int tan^5 x* dx

int tan^5 x* dx=int tan^3 x*tan^2 x dx

int tan^5 x *dx=int tan^3 x*(sec^2 x-1) dx=int (tan^3 x sec^2 x-tan^3 x) dx

int tan^5 x* dx=int (tan^3 x sec^2 x)dx-int tan^3 x dx

int tan^5 x* dx=int (tan^3 x sec^2 x)dx-int tan^2 x *tan x dx

int tan^5 x* dx=int (tan^3 x sec^2 x)dx-int (sec^2 x-1) *tan x dx

int tan^5 x *dx=
int (tan^3 x sec^2 x)dx-int (tan x*sec^2 x)dx+int (tan x) dx

int tan^5 x *dx=1/4tan^4 x -1/2*tan^2 x+ln sec x+C

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
