    Integration by Parts for Sec^5x

    now here's a trick or shortcut for doing an anti-derivative of any secx function with an odd power... ~secnx = 1/(n-1)[sec(n-2)xtanx + 1/(n-1)[(n-2)~sec(n-2)x] that n stuff can be confusing looking so here's a few examples ~sec3x n = 3 (n-1) = 2 (n-2) = 1 so ~sec3x = 1/2sec1xtanx...

    Integration by Parts for Sec^5x

    you guys are on the right track but not quite there...let me help :) I don't know how to make those fancy integral symbols on here either, so I'm going to use the tilda for it :) to solve ~sec5x you actually first need to solve ~sec3x. You'll see why when we get there. So let's do that...
