Substitute u=x3+2u=x^{3}+2; the integral becomes 13∫tan⁡u du=13ln⁡∣sec⁡(x3+2)∣+C\tfrac13\int\tan u\,du=\tfrac13\ln|\sec(x^{3}+2)|+C.

Concept: The factor x2x^{2} is (up to a constant) the derivative of the inner function x3+2x^{3}+2, so substitution works.

Let u=x3+2⇒du=3x2 dx⇒x2 dx=du3u=x^{3}+2\Rightarrow du=3x^{2}\,dx\Rightarrow x^{2}\,dx=\dfrac{du}{3}.
