$$$\tan^{4}{\left(x \right)}$$$ 的積分

求$$$\int \tan^{4}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$。

令 $$$u=\tan{\left(x \right)}$$$。

則 $$$x=\operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}$$$ 與 $$$dx=\left(\operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}\right)^{\prime }du = \frac{du}{u^{2} + 1}$$$（步驟見»）。

該積分變為

$${\color{red}{\int{\tan^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\frac{u^{4}}{u^{2} + 1} d u}}}$$

由於分子次數不小於分母次數，進行多項式長除法（步驟見»）:

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{u^{4}}{u^{2} + 1} d u}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(u^{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{u^{2} + 1}\right)d u}}}$$

逐項積分：

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(u^{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{u^{2} + 1}\right)d u}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{1 d u} + \int{u^{2} d u} + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u}\right)}}$$

配合 $$$c=1$$$，應用常數法則 $$$\int c\, du = c u$$$：

$$\int{u^{2} d u} + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} - {\color{red}{\int{1 d u}}} = \int{u^{2} d u} + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} - {\color{red}{u}}$$

套用冪次法則 $$$\int u^{n}\, du = \frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$，以 $$$n=2$$$：

$$- u + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} + {\color{red}{\int{u^{2} d u}}}=- u + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} + {\color{red}{\frac{u^{1 + 2}}{1 + 2}}}=- u + \int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} + {\color{red}{\left(\frac{u^{3}}{3}\right)}}$$

$$$\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1}$$$ 的積分是 $$$\int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u} = \operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}$$$：

$$\frac{u^{3}}{3} - u + {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u^{2} + 1} d u}}} = \frac{u^{3}}{3} - u + {\color{red}{\operatorname{atan}{\left(u \right)}}}$$

回顧一下 $$$u=\tan{\left(x \right)}$$$：

$$\operatorname{atan}{\left({\color{red}{u}} \right)} - {\color{red}{u}} + \frac{{\color{red}{u}}^{3}}{3} = \operatorname{atan}{\left({\color{red}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}} \right)} - {\color{red}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}} + \frac{{\color{red}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}}^{3}}{3}$$

因此，

$$\int{\tan^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x} = \frac{\tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \tan{\left(x \right)} + \operatorname{atan}{\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$

化簡：

$$\int{\tan^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x} = x + \frac{\tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \tan{\left(x \right)}$$

加上積分常數：

$$\int{\tan^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x} = x + \frac{\tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \tan{\left(x \right)}+C$$

$$$\int \tan^{4}{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \left(x + \frac{\tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \tan{\left(x \right)}\right) + C$$$A
