40.1 Introduction
Table 40.1 gives a summary of the integrals that requirethe use of trigonometric and hyperbolic substitutionsand their application is demonstrated in Problems 1to 27.

then cos 2t = 1
2(1 + cos 2t) and
cos 24t = 1

Problem 2. Determine∫
sin23x dx .
Since cos 2x =1 − 2 sin2x (from Chapter 17),
then sin 2x = 1
2(1 − cos 2x) and
sin 23x = 1

Problem 3. Find 3∫

Since 1+ tan2 x = sec2 x , then tan2 x = sec2 x −1 andtan2 4x = sec2 4x −1.
