Let $\mathrm{I}=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \sec ^{\frac{2}{3}} x \operatorname{cosec}^{\frac{4}{3}} x \mathrm{~d} x=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\cos ^{\frac{2}{3}} x \cdot \sin ^{\frac{4}{3}} x}$ $=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{	an ^{\frac{4}{3}} x} \mathrm{~d} x$ Put $	an x=\mathrm{t} \Rightarrow \sec ^2 x \mathrm{~d} x=\mathrm{dt}$ $	herefore \quad I=\int_{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}^{t \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\frac{4}{3}}=\left[-3 \mathrm{t}^{-\frac{1}{3}}ight]_{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}^{\sqrt{3}}$ $=-3\left[(\sqrt{3})^{\frac{-1}{3}}-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}ight)^{\frac{-1}{3}}ight]$ $=-3\left(3^{-\frac{1}{6}}-3^{\frac{1}{6}}ight)$ $=3^{\frac{7}{6}}-3^{\frac{5}{6}}$
