Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\tan x\sec^{3}x+\frac{3}{8}\tan x\sec x+\frac{3}{8}\ln|\sec x+\tan x|+C$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \int\sec^{5}xdx=$ Table of integrals: $\color{blue}{ 77. \quad \displaystyle \int\sec^{n}udu=\frac{1}{n-1}\tan u\sec^{n-2}u+\frac{n-2}{n-1}\int\sec^{n-2}udu }$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\tan x\sec^{3}x+\frac{3}{4}\int\sec^{3}xdx=$ ... apply formula 77 again $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\tan x\sec^{3}x+\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2}\tan x\sec x+\frac{1}{2}\int\sec xdx)$ ... Table formula 14 for the integral.... $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\tan x\sec^{3}x+\frac{3}{8}\tan x\sec x+\frac{3}{8}\ln|\sec x+\tan x|+C$
