Question
Evaluate: $\int_0^{\pi / 4} \tan ^3 x d x$

Answer

Let $I= \int_0^{\pi / 4} \tan ^3 x d x=\int_0^{\pi / 4}\left(\sec ^2 x-1\right) \tan x d x$
$ =\int_0^{\pi / 4} \sec ^2 x \tan x d x-\int_0^{\pi / 4} \tan x d x$
Put $\tan x=t$ in first integral
$\Rightarrow \sec ^2 x d x=d t$
When
$x=0 $
$\Rightarrow t=0$
$\therefore x=\pi / 4 $
$\Rightarrow t=1$
$I=\int_0^1 t d t-\int_0^{\pi / 4} \tan x d x$
$=\left[\frac{t^2}{2}\right]_0^1-[\log |\sec x|]_0^{\pi / 4}$
$=\left(\frac{1}{2}-0\right)-\log \left|\sec \frac{\pi}{4}\right|+\log |\sec 0|$
$=\frac{1}{2}(1-\log 2)$
