Answer

$\frac{2}{3}tan^{3}\frac{x}{2}+2tan\frac{x}{2}+C$

Work Step by Step

$\int\sec^{4}(\frac{x}{2})dx$ $\int\sec^{2}\frac{x}{2}sec^{2}(\frac{x}{2})dx$ By the pythagorean identity $tan^{2}x+1=sec^{2}x$: $\int(tan^{2}\frac{x}{2}+1)sec^{2}(\frac{x}{2})dx$ $let$ $u=tan\frac{x}{2}$ $du=\frac{1}{2}sec^{2}\frac{x}{2}$ $2du=sec^{2}\frac{x}{2}$ $2\int(u^{2}+1)du$ $2[\frac{1}{3}u^{3}+u]+C$ $2[\frac{1}{3}tan^{3}\frac{x}{2}+tan\frac{x}{2}]+C$ $\frac{2}{3}tan^{3}\frac{x}{2}+2tan\frac{x}{2}+C$
