68 00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:09,150 Because what's the derivative of the tangent function? 69 00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:09,955 It's secant squared. 70 00:03:09,955 --> 00:03:11,080 Right? 71 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,530 So this is actually a straight up u-substitution, or 72 00:03:14,530 --> 00:03:16,080 substitution type problem. 73 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,000 So this, I can finish and I will later, but this will be 74 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,250 substitution. 75 00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:21,980 76 00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:23,980 So I'll finish that in a little bit. 77 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:25,720 But what about this? 78 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,520 Now I have tan squared theta d theta. 79 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,970 80 00:03:30,970 --> 00:03:31,340 That's, you know, we don't have any, we don't have a 81 00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:32,970 secant here. 82 00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:34,980 We don't have secant squared here, which would make it 83 00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:36,770 obviously nice-- that's what we had here. 84 00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:39,240 So we need to do something else with this. 85 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,450 Well, what I'm going to do is, I'm again going to use the 86 00:03:41,450 --> 00:03:43,320 trigonometric identity. 87 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,960 I'm going to replace this tangent squares theta by 88 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,760 secant squared theta minus 1. 89 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,430 Let's think about, why is that good? 90 00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:56,170 Well, that's good because what I end up with is, if I have 91 00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:58,150 secant squared theta minus 1-- 92 00:03:58,150 --> 00:03:59,600 is what this will equal-- 93 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,750 secant squared theta is easy to integrate. 94 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:04,040 Because it's the derivative of a trig function we know-- it's 95 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,860 the derivative of tangent. 96 00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:08,640 And 1, I think, is pretty easy to integrate, too. 97 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,960 So we have two functions we can integrate very easily. 98 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,370 So I'm going to bring this back up on the next line, I'm 99 00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:17,570 going to do the replacement here, and then we'll finish 100 00:04:17,570 --> 00:04:19,860 the problem. 101 00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,110 So let me write this down. 102 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:28,260 103 00:04:28,260 --> 00:04:28,650 OK. 104 00:04:28,650 --> 00:04:32,460 Now I'm going to do my replacement and minus the 105 00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:41,300 quantity the integral secant squared theta minus 1 d theta. 106 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,040 Let's make sure I didn't make any mistakes. 107 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,140 So I had tan squared theta secant squared theta d theta. 108 00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:47,110 That looks good. 109 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:50,640 And then I'm subtracting tan squared theta, the integral of 110 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,270 tan squared theta d theta. 111 00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:51,980 And that's that. 112 00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:53,490 So I'm OK. 113 00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:56,810 So this one, again, I mentioned that this is going 114 00:04:56,810 --> 00:04:58,300 to be a substitution. 115 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:00,995 If you need to write it out explicitly, this is u equals 116 00:05:00,995 --> 00:05:06,650 tan theta, so du is equal to secant squared theta d theta. 117 00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:08,015 So this is the integral of u squared. 118 00:05:08,015 --> 00:05:09,760 Right? 119 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,715 If I substitute in I get u squared du. 120 00:05:11,715 --> 00:05:13,250 So it's the integral of u squared, which is 121 00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:15,460 u cubed over 3. 122 00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:20,880 So that first part is going to be tan cubed theta over 3. 123 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,690 That's my first term. 124 00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:24,710 That's a straight up substitution pretty similar to 125 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:26,440 what you've seen. 126 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,960 Now I have two things to integrate. 127 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520 I have to integrate secant squared theta, and I have to 128 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,600 integrate the 1. 129 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,590 Well, derivative of tangent is secant squared. 130 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:37,700 So the integral of secant squared theta is 131 00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:39,550 just tangent theta. 132 00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:41,810 So I have to subtract, so there's a minus sine of 133 00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:44,110 tangent theta. 134 00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:47,750 And then I have a minus, minus, so when I integrate 1 d 135 00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:52,740 theta, I'm going to get a plus theta. 136 00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:55,680 And then, obviously, because it's a family of possible 137 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,170 solutions, I can add a constant there, plus c. 138 00:05:59,170 --> 00:06:00,760 So again, where did these come from? 139 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,300 This first one was a u-substitution 140 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,300 on the first integral. 141 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,780 And then over here I have another integral with two 142 00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:10,200 terms inside. 143 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760 The first one is just the, I just need to 144 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,760 integrate secant squared. 145 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,370 I get tangent theta. 146 00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:18,170 The second one, I just need to integrate the 1, and so I have 147 00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:19,020 a negative, negative. 148 00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:21,160 That makes it a positive theta. 149 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,470 And then I have to add my constant. 150 00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:24,810 So let's come back and just remind 151 00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:25,800 ourselves where we started. 152 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,420 We started with this trig function that 153 00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:29,620 was a power of tangent. 154 00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:33,900 And what we ultimately did is we took two of the powers of 155 00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,550 tangent, we made a substitution with the 156 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:39,100 appropriate trigonometric identity to make this an 157 00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:40,820 easier problem to solve. 158 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:42,120 And actually-- yeah-- 159 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280 if you take two of the powers of tangent away and replace 160 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,770 them by this, then you're always going to end up with 161 00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:49,880 something of this form, tangent to the power 2 less 162 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080 times secant squared theta d theta, which you can always 163 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,810 handle by a u-substitution. 164 00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:56,250 And you're going to end up with an integral-- 165 00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:57,880 now here's where it gets a little tough-- here, you 166 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,220 wouldn't have tangent squared. 167 00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:01,500 I think I might have said that incorrectly earlier. 168 00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,480 If this was any power, here, you wouldn't 169 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,230 have tangent squared. 170 00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:07,300 You would have had whatever-- 171 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,820 if this was power n, this would be power n minus 2, so 172 00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:12,205 this would be power n minus 2. 173 00:07:12,205 --> 00:07:13,550 Right? 174 00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:17,250 So if this was power 8, when we do the substitution, 175 00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:21,120 this'll be power 6, so this would be power 6, so this 176 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,460 would be power 6. 177 00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,080 So you'd have to do the process again. 178 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,370 This should remind you of the reduction 179 00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:27,290 formulas you've seen. 180 00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:30,810 So it's good of it's even, because if this is power 6, 181 00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:32,740 you do the problem again and you end up with, the second 182 00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:34,260 term has a power 4. 183 00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:36,390 You do the problem again, the second term has a power 2, 184 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:38,060 and, oh, we know how to deal with those. 185 00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:40,580 So we like it when it's an even power. 186 00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:45,025 So that's kind of how these even powers of tangent, you 187 00:07:45,025 --> 00:07:46,740 can take, you can find anti-derivatives of the even 188 00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:49,970 powers of tangent by this strategy that winds up, you 189 00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:53,070 could actually get a reduction formula out of this. 190 00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:55,030 But I think that's where I should stop with this problem, 191 00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:57,960 and I hope you enjoyed it.
