1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
2. Relevant equations
u = 1+tant
du = sec^2(t) dt
dt = du / sec^2(t)
3. The attempt at a solution
It seems like I should be using substitution in the equation, however the exponent is messing things up for me. I recall from derivatives how they interact with the chain rule, but am not sure how this would work backwards in integration. Something like,
I(u^3)(sec^2(t)) = (u^4/4)((sec^2(t)) (tan(t))
Except I haven't gotten rid of the t variable and now have t and u. Any points are welcome.
