What is the integral of tan(4t) ?

The integral of tan(4t) is -1/4 ln|cos(4t)|+C

integral of tan(4t)

\int tan (4 t) d t

- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ cos (4 t) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int tan (4 t) d t

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( 4 t )}{cos ( 4 t )} d t

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{1}{4 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = cos (4 t)

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ cos (4 t) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ cos (4 t) ∣ + C

\int \frac{5}{2} x^{2} (x^{3} - 7)^{4} d x

\int \frac{7 x}{( x ^{2} + 8 ) ^{2} + 25} d x

\int x^{7} d x

\int \frac{cot ( x ) csc ( x )}{csc ^{3} ( x )} d x

\int x^{3} 5 - x^{4} d x
