    Integral x(secx)^2 dx = [xtanx] - Integral[tanx. 1] dx

    = [xtanx] - ln[secx] + c

    I used integral u dv = [uv] - integral [v du]

    int. by parts

    hope this helps

    OshB: I would increase the exponent by 1 and put the new exponent under X: (X/3)(secX)^3

    ∫ x(secx)^2 dx

    Integration by parts

    dv=(sec x)^2

    v= tan x

    u= x

    du=1

    ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ vdu

    x tan x - ∫ tan x (1) dx

    x tan x - ∫ tan x dx ----(1)

    ∫ tan x dx = -ln(cos x) ---(2)

    Plug (2) into (1)

    x tan x + ln ( cos x) + C
