Write tan⁡3xsec⁡3x=tan⁡2xsec⁡2x⋅(sec⁡xtan⁡x)=(sec⁡2x−1)sec⁡2x⋅sec⁡xtan⁡x\tan^3x\sec^3x=\tan^2x\sec^2x\cdot(\sec x\tan x)=(\sec^2x-1)\sec^2x\cdot\sec x\tan x. Let t=sec⁡xt=\sec x, dt=sec⁡xtan⁡x dxdt=\sec x\tan x\,dx: the integral becomes $\int (t^2-1)t^2,dt=\int(t^4-t^2)dt=\frac{t^5}{5}-\frac{t^3}{3}+c=\frac15\sec^5x-\frac13\sec^3x+ …
