$$\int\limits_{0}^{1} \sin^{5}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$

Integral(sin(x)^5, (x, 0, 1))

Detail solution

Rewrite the integrand:

$\sin^{5}{\left(x \right)} = \left(1 - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)}$
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\left(1 - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} - 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \sin{\left(x \right)}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
    
    Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :
    
    $\int \left(- u^{4}\right)\, du$
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int u^{4}\, du = - \int u^{4}\, du$
      
      The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u^{4}\, du = \frac{u^{5}}{5}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{5}}{5}$
    Now substitute $u$ back in:
    
    $- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5}$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \left(- 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\, dx = - 2 \int \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
      
      Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :
      
      $\int \left(- u^{2}\right)\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int u^{2}\, du = - \int u^{2}\, du$
      
      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:
      
      $- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}$
  1. The integral of sine is negative cosine:
    
    $\int \sin{\left(x \right)}\, dx = - \cos{\left(x \right)}$
  The result is: $- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5} + \frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cos{\left(x \right)}$
Method #2
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\left(1 - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} - 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \sin{\left(x \right)}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
    
    Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :
    
    $\int \left(- u^{4}\right)\, du$
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int u^{4}\, du = - \int u^{4}\, du$
      
      The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u^{4}\, du = \frac{u^{5}}{5}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{5}}{5}$
    Now substitute $u$ back in:
    
    $- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5}$

    $\int \left(- 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\, dx = - 2 \int \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .

      $\int u^{2}\, du = \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3}$
  1. The integral of sine is negative cosine:
    
    $\int \sin{\left(x \right)}\, dx = - \cos{\left(x \right)}$
  The result is: $- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5} + \frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cos{\left(x \right)}$
Add the constant of integration:

$- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5} + \frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cos{\left(x \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{\cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}{5} + \frac{2 \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cos{\left(x \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$
