Step 1: Recognize that the integral involves powers of tangent and secant. For integrals involving these functions, it is often helpful to use trigonometric identities to simplify the expression. Recall the identity: tan²θ = sec²θ − 1.
Step 2: Split the powers of secant and tangent to facilitate substitution. Rewrite the integral as: ∫ tan⁵θ sec⁴θ dθ = ∫ tan⁵θ sec²θ sec²θ dθ. This allows us to use substitution later.
Step 3: Use substitution. Let u = tanθ, which implies du = sec²θ dθ. Replace tanθ and sec²θ dθ in the integral.
Step 4: Rewrite the integral in terms of u. Using the substitution, the integral becomes: ∫ u⁵ sec²θ dθ = ∫ u⁵ du. This simplifies the problem to a basic polynomial integral.
Step 5: Integrate the polynomial. Apply the power rule for integration: ∫ u⁵ du = (u⁶)/6 + C. Finally, substitute back u = tanθ to express the result in terms of θ.
