integral from pi/4 to pi/3 of tan^2(x)

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} tan^{2} (x) d x

- \frac{π}{12} + 3 - 1

Decimal

0.47025 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} tan^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} - 1 + sec^{2} (x) d x

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{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} 1 d x + \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} sec^{2} (x) d x

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{12}

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{3}} sec^{2} (x) d x = 3 - 1

= - \frac{π}{12} + 3 - 1
