To evaluate the integral of sec^2(x) tan^2(x) dx, you can use trigonometric identities to simplify the expression.
Start by using the identity tan^2(x) = sec^2(x) - 1. Then substitute this into the integral expression:
∫ sec^2(x) (sec^2(x) - 1) dx
Now, distribute sec^2(x) across the expression:
∫ (sec^4(x) - sec^2(x)) dx
Now, split the integral into two separate integrals:
∫ sec^4(x) dx - ∫ sec^2(x) dx
The integral of sec^4(x) can be evaluated using a trigonometric identity or integration by parts. The integral of sec^2(x) is a standard integral that evaluates to tan(x).
After evaluating both integrals, you'll have your final result.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
