Evaluate the indefinite integral.
{eq}\displaystyle \int \sec^2 \theta \tan^3 \theta\ d \theta {/eq}.
Question:
Evaluate the indefinite integral.
{eq}\displaystyle \int \sec^2 \theta \tan^3 \theta\ d \theta {/eq}.
Integrals:
We have an indefinite integral and we will use the substitution method to evaluate it. We will get a constant of integration which represents the family of antiderivatives that results to the same function when differentiated. To solve the given integral, we will use the power rule of differentiation:
$$\int x^n \text{ d}x=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+c $$
