integral of 12sec^2(x)tan^3(x)

\int 12 sec^{2} (x) tan^{3} (x) d x

3 tan^{4} (x) + C

Solution steps

\int 12 sec^{2} (x) tan^{3} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 12 \cdot \int sec^{2} (x) tan^{3} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= 12 \cdot \int (1 + tan^{2} (x)) tan^{3} (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= 12 \cdot \int u^{3} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= 12 \cdot \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

Substitute back

u = tan (x)

= 12 \cdot \frac{tan ^{4} ( x )}{4}

Simplify

12 \cdot \frac{tan ^{4} ( x )}{4} : 3 tan^{4} (x)

= 3 tan^{4} (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 tan^{4} (x) + C
