Integrating the function tan(3x) can be effectively accomplished using the substitution method with u = 3x. This transforms the integral into ∫(tan u)/3 du, which can be rewritten using the identity tan x = sin x/cos x. Further substitution with v = cos u simplifies the integral to (1/3) ∫(1/v) dv, leading to the result (1/3) ln|cos 3x| + C after back-substitution.
