Answer

$$\frac{1}{5} \tan ^{5} x+\frac{1}{3} \tan ^{3} x+C $$

Work Step by Step

We evaluate the trigonometric integral as follows: \begin{align*} \int \sec ^{4} x \tan ^{2} x d x&=\int \sec ^{2} x \tan ^{2} x \sec ^{2} x d x\\ &=\int\left(\tan ^{2} x+1\right) \tan ^{2} x \sec ^{2} x d x\\ &=\int \tan ^{4} x \sec ^{2} x d x+\int \tan ^{2} x \sec ^{2} x d x\\ &=\frac{1}{5} \tan ^{5} x+\frac{1}{3} \tan ^{3} x+C \end{align*}
