So, the solution to the integral $\int 8 \sec^2(4x) \tan(4x) dx$ is $\boxed{\tan^2(4x) + C}$.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we use the given substitution $u = \tan(4x)$, then the derivative of $u$ with respect to $x$ is $du/dx = 4\sec^2(4x)$, or $dx = du / (4\sec^2(4x))$.

Step 2 :Substitute $u$ and $dx$ into the integral, we get $\int 8 \sec^2(4x) u du / (4\sec^2(4x))$.

Step 3 :Simplify the integral, we get $\int 2u du$.

Step 4 :Integrate $2u$ with respect to $u$, we get $u^2 + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration.

Step 5 :Substitute $u = \tan(4x)$ back into the integral, we get $\tan^2(4x) + C$.

Step 6 :So, the solution to the integral $\int 8 \sec^2(4x) \tan(4x) dx$ is $\boxed{\tan^2(4x) + C}$.
