Maths · Integration by substitution, by parts and by partial fractions

d x= \)

\( \int\left(\tan ^{10} x+\tan ^{12} x\right) d x= \)

  • A. \( \frac{\tan ^{9} x}{9}+c \)
  • B. \( \frac{\tan ^{13} x}{13}+c \)
  • C. \( \frac{\tan ^{11} x}{11}+c \)
  • D. \( \frac{\tan ^{8} x}{8}+c \)

Step-by-step solution

Factor out \(\tan^{10} x\) to get \(\tan^{10} x (1+\tan^2 x)\). Using \(1+\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan x)\), substitute \(u = \tan x\), \(du = \sec^2 x dx\). The integral becomes \(\int u^{10} du = \frac{u^{11}}{11} + C = \frac{\tan^{11} x}{11} + C\).
