Integration Trig Substitution I have solved a problem using a double "u" substitution as follows: < But I was told I need to use trig. After brushing up on the rules I did the following: < But now I find myself stuck. I am not missing something and as far as I know, this is correct so far. What trick am I missing? Thanks in advance! Oh yea, I can't use the reduction rule either... Grrr

$$\int \sec^4 (\theta) d\theta$$

Noting the power of $4$ is even, leave $\sec^2(\theta)$ because this is the derivative of $\tan \theta$ and perform the identity $\tan^2 (\theta)+1=\sec^2 (\theta)$ on the left powers.

$$\sec^4 (\theta)$$

$$(\tan^2 (\theta)+1)\sec^2 (\theta)$$

$$=\tan^2(\theta) \sec^2 (\theta)+\sec^2 (\theta)$$

This can be easily integrated. The first with substituting $u=\tan \theta$ and the second by noting what the derivative of $\tan \theta$ is $\sec^2 (\theta)$

$$\int \tan^2(\theta) \sec^2 (\theta) d\theta+\int \sec^2 (\theta) d\theta$$

$$=\frac{\tan^3 (\theta)}{3}+\tan (\theta)+C$$
