Feb 17, 2007 #2 cristo Staff Emeritus Science Advisor 8,107 73 Well, what have you tried? This is clearly homework! Try writing tanx in terms of sinx and cosx.
Feb 17, 2007 #3 O.J. 199 0 i tried that. i even tried using trig identities for the expansion of tan^2 but i got no where. im lost...

Feb 17, 2007 #5 ChaoticLlama 59 0 this is by-parts integration because you have two functions multiplied by each other. But before you do that you should use a trig identity (think of an identity which will give you an easily integratable trig function).
