Question:medium

If 'n' is a natural number, then $\int \frac{\sin^n x}{\cos^{n+2} x} dx =$

Show Hint

When you see an integral with $\sin^m x$ and $\cos^p x$ in the numerator and denominator, check the difference in their powers. If the power of cosine in the denominator is 2 greater than the power of sine in the numerator, separating out a $\frac{1}{\cos^2 x}$ will always cleanly produce a $\tan$ and $\sec^2$ pair for an easy u-substitution.
