    Trig substitution ∫(4x^3)/√(x^2+4)

    Homework Statement ∫(4x^3)/√(x^2+4)dx Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So, I let x= 2tanθ dx= 2sec^2θ dθ So, √(4tan^2(θ)+4)=2secθ ∫(4x^3)/√(x^2+4)dx=∫((32tan^3(θ))/(2secθ))2sec^2(θ)dθ. Would it go to ∫16tan^3(θ)2sec(θ)dθ or ∫32tan^3(θ)sec(θ)dθ
