Antiderivative of some functions

Anyone know how to get antiderivative of these? I am stuck.

1) cos(t^5)
2) tan(x^2)
3) (1-x^2)^(1/3)

Any explanation on how to do these would be appreciated.

None of them are elementary functions.
 
int cost^5 = 1/11*t*(5*sin(t^5)*t^5*(t^5)^(7/10)+11*(t^5)^(7/10)*cos(t^5)-5*t^5*sin(t^5)*LommelS1(17/10, 3/2, t^5)-11*t^5*LommelS1(7/10, 1/2, t^5)*cos(t^5)+11*LommelS1(7/10, 1/2, t^5)*sin(t^5))/(t^5)^(7/10)
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
