Answer

$-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec x+\tan x|+\frac{1}{2}\sec x\tan x+C$

Work Step by Step

$I=\displaystyle \int\tan^{2}x\sec xdx$ From the Strategy for Evaluating $\displaystyle \int\tan^{m}x\sec^{n}xdx$, case (a) we use $\sec^{2}x=1+\tan^{2}x$ $I=\displaystyle \int\left(-1+\sec^{2}(x)\right)\sec(x)dx$ $=\displaystyle \int-\sec(x)dx+\int\sec^{3}(x)dx$ The first integral is given under the "Strategy.." $\left[\begin{array}{l} -\int\sec xdx=-\ln|\sec x+\tan x|+C\\ \end{array}\right]$ The second integral was solved in Example 8. $\left[\begin{array}{l} \int\sec^{3}(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}(\sec x\tan x+\ln|\sec x+\tan x|)+C \end{array}\right]$ $I=-\displaystyle \ln|\sec x+\tan x|+\frac{1}{2}(\sec x\tan x+\ln|\sec x+\tan x|)+C$ $I=-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec x+\tan x|+\frac{1}{2}\sec x\tan x+C$
