$${Alternative}\:{method}: \\ $$$${Let}\:{tanx}={w}^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} \:\Rightarrow{sec}^{\mathrm{2}} {xdx}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\sqrt{{w}}{dw} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{dx}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}.\frac{\sqrt{{w}}{dw}}{\mathrm{1}+{w}^{\mathrm{3}} } \\ $$$$\therefore\int\left({tanx}\right)^{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{3}} {dx}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\int\frac{{w}}{\mathrm{1}+{w}^{\mathrm{3}} }{dw} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\int\frac{{w}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+{w}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}−{w}+{w}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)}{dw} \\ $$$${Let}\:\frac{{w}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+{w}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}−{w}+{w}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)}=\frac{{A}}{\mathrm{1}+{w}}+\frac{{Bw}+{C}}{\mathrm{1}−{w}+{w}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}\left(\mathrm{1}−{w}+{w}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)+\left({Bw}+{C}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}+{w}\right)\equiv{w} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}+{C}=\mathrm{0},\:−{A}+{B}+{C}=\mathrm{1},\:{A}+{B}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{B}={C}=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}},\:{A}=\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${now}\:{proceed}\:{similar}\:{to}\:{above}\:{solution}. \\ $$
