Answer

\[\frac{\sec^7x}{7}+\frac{\sec^3x}{3}-\frac{2\sec^5x}{5}+C\]

Work Step by Step

\[I=\int\tan^5x\:\sec^3xdx\] $I=\int\tan^4x\:\sec^2x(\sec x\:\tan x)dx$ $[\sec^2 x-\tan^2 x=1]$ $I=\int(\sec^2 x-1)^2\:\sec^2x(\sec x\:\tan x)dx$ Substitute $\sec x=t$ $\Rightarrow \sec x\:\tan xdx=dt$ $I=\int(t^2-1)^2t^2dt$ $I=\int(t^4+1-2t^2)t^2dt$ $I=\int(t^6+t^2-2t^4)dt$ $I=\frac{t^7}{7}+\frac{t^3}{3}-\frac{2t^5}{5}+C$ Where $C$ is constant of integration $I=\large\frac{\sec^7x}{7}+\frac{\sec^3x}{3}-\frac{2\sec^5x}{5}$+$C$ Hence $I=\large\frac{\sec^7x}{7}+\frac{\sec^3x}{3}-\frac{2\sec^5x}{5}$+$C$.
