integral of-5tan^3(x)

\int - 5 tan^{3} (x) d x

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

Solution steps

\int - 5 tan^{3} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - 5 \cdot \int tan^{3} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= - 5 \cdot \int (- 1 + sec^{2} (x)) tan (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 5 \cdot \int \frac{- 1 + u ^{2}}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{- 1 + u ^{2}}{u} : - \frac{1}{u} + u

= - 5 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{u} + u 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

= - 5 (- \int \frac{1}{u} d u + \int u d u)

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

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

= - 5 (- ln ∣ u ∣ + \frac{u ^{2}}{2})

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

= - 5 (- ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ + \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= - 5 (- ln ∣ sec (x) ∣ + \frac{sec ^{2} ( x )}{2}) + C
