Answer

\[ = - \frac{1}{4}\frac{1}{{{{\tan }^4}x}} + C\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} \int_{}^{} {\frac{{{{\sec }^2}x}}{{{{\tan }^5}x}}} dx \hfill \\ \hfill \\ use\,\,\tan \,x = u\,\,\,\,\,then\,\,\,{\sec ^2}xdx = du \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \int_{}^{} {\frac{{du}}{{{u^5}}}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ rewrite \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \int_{}^{} {{u^{ - 5}}du} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ integrate \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{{u^{ - 4}}}}{{ - 4}} + C \hfill \\ \hfill \\ substituting\,\,back\,\,u\, = \,\tan x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = - \frac{1}{4}\frac{1}{{{{\tan }^4}x}} + C \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
