Exercise 4: In this problem, we solve the general case of sec" (x) dx. Note we know the cases n = 1, 2, 3, so we may as well assume n > 3 if this helps. (a) First, suppose n is even. Re-write sec" (x) = sec"-2 (x) · sec2 (x), use the Pythagorean theorem, and a u-substitution of u = tan(x) to solve the integral, similar to our previous methods. (b) Now, suppose n is odd. Use integration by parts in a very similar manner to the sec3 (x) case done in class to show the following: | sec" (x) dx sec"-2 (x) tan(x) – (n – 2) | sec"-2(x) tan² (x) dx. п-2 Conclude that: sec" (2) da = (see"- (r) tan(2) + (n – 2) 2(x) tan(x) + (n – 2) sec dx and hence we are done by induction.
