Example 2
Find ∫ sin5x cos2x dx.
Solution:
We could convert cos2x to 1 – sin2x, but we would be left
with an expression in terms of sin x with no extra cos x
factor.
Solution:
If we write sin2x = 1 – cos2x, the integral is no simpler to
evaluate. Using the half-angle formula for sin2x, however,
we have

We can use a similar strategy to evaluate integrals of the
form ∫ tanmx secnx dx.

Example 5
Evaluate ∫ tan6x sec4x dx.
Solution:
If we separate one sec2x factor, we can express the
remaining sec2x factor in terms of tangent using the identity
sec2x = 1 + tan2x.

The preceding examples demonstrate strategies for
evaluating integrals of the form ∫ tanmx secnx dx for two
cases, which we summarize here.

Example 7
Find ∫ tan3x dx.
Solution:
Here only tan x occurs, so we use tan2x = sec2x – 1 to
rewrite a tan2x factor in terms of sec2x:
= ∫ tan x (sec2x – 1) dx

Example 9
Evaluate ∫ sin 4x cos 5x dx.
Solution:
This integral could be evaluated using integration by parts,
but it’s easier to use the identity in Equation 2(a) as follows:
