Answer

$$\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 \tan ^{3} x d x = 3-3\ln \left(2\right) $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 \tan ^{3} x d x $$ Since $$ 1+\tan^2x=\sec^2 x$$ Then \begin{align*} \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 \tan ^{3} x d x&=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 \tan ^{2} x \tan x d x\\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 (\sec ^{2} x-1) \tan x d x\\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} 6 (\sec ^{2} x\tan x-\tan x) d x\\ &=3\tan^2x-6\ln |\sec x|\bigg|_{0}^{\pi / 4}\\ &= 3-3\ln \left(2\right) \end{align*}
