To solve this integral, we'll use substitution and integration by parts. The key steps involve simplifying the argument of the tangent function and then applying the appropriate integration techniques.

Calculation Steps

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to solve the integral:

1. First, simplify the argument of the tangent function:
   ln(3x² + 3x²) = ln(6x²) = 2ln(x) + ln(6)
2. Let u = 2ln(x) + ln(6). Then du = (2/x) dx.
3. We need to express dx in terms of du:
   dx = (x/2) du
4. Substitute into the integral:
   ∫ tan(u) (x/2) du
5. This integral requires integration by parts. Let v = tan(u) and dw = (x/2) du.
6. Compute dv and w:
   dv = sec²(u) du
   w = (x/2) u
7. Apply integration by parts formula:
   ∫ v dw = vw - ∫ w dv
8. This leads to a recursive integral that requires further techniques to solve completely.

While the complete solution involves advanced techniques, the calculator provided can compute the result for specific values of x.
