Trig Integrals - How is what I am doing wrong?

[MathHawk]

I like to work these problems out and then check them with online integral calculators.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * sec4x dx



2. Relevant equations
\frac{d}{dx}tanx = sec2x
sec2x = 1 + tan2x



3. The attempt at a solution

This seems so simple, using the identities and u substitution:

\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * sec4x dx
\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * sec2x * sec2x dx
\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * (tan2x + 1) * sec2x dx
\int^{\pi/4}_{0}(tan4x + tan2x) * sec2x dx

Now: u = tanx, du = sec2x dx. tan \pi/4 = 1, tan 0 = 0/

\int^{1}_{0}(u4 + u2) du

= [\frac{1}{5}u5 + \frac{1}{3}u3]^{1}_{0}

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} - (0 + 0) = \frac{8}{15}


Therefore:

\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * sec4x dx = \frac{8}{15}



Online indefinite integral calculators disagree with my indefinite integral, and the definite integral calculator I tried timed out. This looks flawless to me, but apparently I'm an idiot.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

The expression below does not follow from the one above.

\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan4x * tan2x * sec2x dx

Now: u = tanx, du = sec2x dx. tan \pi/4 = 1, tan 0 = 0/

\int^{1}_{0}(u4 + u2) du

= [\frac{1}{5}u5 + \frac{1}{3}u3]^{1}_{0}

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} - (0 + 0) = \frac{8}{15}


Therefore:

\int^{\pi/4}_{0}tan2x * sec4x dx = \frac{8}{15}

You're right. However, I don't have that on paper (I have the + in place of the *). It's corrected on here when I use u substitution, and it doesn't affect my answer. Is there anything else, or did I just whoop a computer integral calculator (doubtful)?

You apparently don't know how to use a computer integral calculator because your answer (and procedure) is correct.
