Answer

$\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}(x^3+x^4~tan~x)~dx = 0$

Work Step by Step

The function $~~f(x) = tan~x~~$ is an odd function while $~~g(x) = x^4~~$ is an even function. Then $~~x^4~tan~x~~$ is an odd function. Also note that $~~x^3~~$ is an odd function. Therefore: $\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}(x^3+x^4~tan~x)~dx$ $= \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}x^3~dx +\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}x^4~tan~x~dx$ $ = 0+0$ $= 0$
