    \[\int{\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x}{{{\cos }^{4}}x}}dx\]is equal to:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{3}{{\tan }^{2}}x+c\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{2}}x+c\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3}{{\tan }^{3}}x+c\]

    D)  \[3\sin 2x-4\cos 4x+c\]

    E)  \[{{\cos }^{3}}x+c\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let\[I=\int{\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x}{{{\cos }^{4}}x}}dx\] \[=\int{{{\tan }^{2}}x{{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx}\] Let \[tan\text{ }x=t\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[se{{c}^{2}}x\text{ }dx=dt\] \[\therefore \]\[I=\int{{{t}^{2}}}\,dt=\frac{{{t}^{3}}}{3}+c=\frac{{{\tan }^{3}}x}{3}+c\]
