$$\int\limits_{0}^{1} \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$

Simplify

Detail solution

Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .

Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :

$\int u^{2}\, du$
1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
  
  $\int \left(- u^{2}\right)\, du = - \int u^{2}\, du$
  1. The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
    
    $\int u^{2}\, du = \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
  So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
Now substitute $u$ back in:

$- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}$
Add the constant of integration:

$- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}$
