The integral of sec(x) is ln|secx+tanx| + C
Since the derivative is taken to the third power, we have to consider the chain rule; the original equation must be to the fourth power, and in order for that to be canceled out, the equation must also have had a coefficient of 1/4. 2x is also subject to the chain rule. I would suggest u substitution.
integral(sec(2x))^3 dx
u=2x
du=2dx
dx=1/2du
integral (sec(u))^3 *1/2 du
1/8 secxtanx + 1/8(ln|secx+tanx|^4) + C

What is the integral of tan squared x?
Note that for sec²(x) - tan²(x) = 1, we have: -tan²(x) = 1 - sec²(x) tan²(x) = sec²(x) - 1 Rewrite the expression as: ∫ (sec²(x) - 1) dx = ∫ sec²(x) dx - ∫ 1 dx Finally, integrate each expression to get: tan(x) - x + K where K is the arbitrary constant
How do you differentiate cos squared x?
use the double angle formula for cos(2x) which is: cos(2x)=2cos^2(x)-1 by this relation cos^2(x)=(cos(2x)+1)/2 now we'd integrate this instead this will give sin(2x)/4+x/2 =) hope this helps
How do you integrate of e -2x?
To integrate e^(-2x)dx, you need to take a u substitution. u=-2x du=-2dx Since the original integral does not have a -2 in it, you need to divide to get the dx alone. -(1/2)du=dx Since the integral of e^x is still e^x, you get: y = -(1/2)e^(-2x) Well, that was one method. I usually solve easier functions like this by thinking how the function looked like before it was differentiated. I let f(x) stand for the given function and F(x) stand for the primitive function; the function we had before differentiation (the integrated function). f(x)= e-2x <-- our given function F(x)= e-2x/-2 <-- our integrated function Evidence: F'(x)= -2e-2x/-2 = e-2x = f(x) Q.E.D It's as simple as that.
