Solution

f(x)= 7 tan6x(tan2x + 1) – 3tan2x(tan2x + 1) = (7 tan6x – 3 tan2x) sec2x

∫0π/4f(x) dx = ∫0π/4(7tan6x−3tan2x) sec2x dx

Put tan x = t ⇒ sec2x dx = dt

∫01(7t6−3t2) dt= 0

∫0π/4x f(x) dx =∫0π/4x⏟I  (7tan6x−3tan2x)⏟II sec2x dx

=(x · (tan7x−tan3)) 0 π/4–∫0π/4(tan7x−tan3x) dx

=0–∫0π/4tan3x(tan4x−1) dx

= –∫0π/4tan3x(tan2x−1) sec2x dx

tan x = t

sec2x dx = dt

=–∫01t3(t2−1) dt=–(16−14)=112
