Example 1: Calculate the following integral ∫x2 sinx3dx.
Solution:
∫x2 sinx3dx = ∫ sinx3 x2 dx
Set u = x3 and du = 3x2dx or du/3 = x2dx, then we have:
∫x2 sinx3 dx
= ∫sinu du/3
= 1/3 * ∫sinu du
= 1/3 *(-cosu) + C
= 1/3 *(-cosx3) + C
Example 2: Calculate 
Solution:
Let u = ln t. So du = (1/t) dt.
We then have:

Example 3: Evaluate ∫(3sin x 4sec2x) dx
Solution:
∫(3sinx 4sec2x) dx
= 3∫sinxdx - 4∫sec2x dx
= -3cosx – 4tanx + C
Example 4: Integrate ∫(2+ tanx)2 dx
Solution:
