p - 4 / | | 3 | sin(x)*cos (x) dx | / 0
Integral(sin(x)*cos(x)^3, (x, 0, p/4))
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Let .
Then let and substitute :
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of is when :
So, the result is:
Now substitute back in:
Rewrite the integrand:
Let .
Then let and substitute :
Integrate term-by-term:
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of is when :
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now substitute back in:
Add the constant of integration:
The answer is:
/ | 4 | 3 cos (x) | sin(x)*cos (x) dx = C - ------- | 4 /
4/p\ cos |-| 1 \4/ - - ------- 4 4
=
4/p\ cos |-| 1 \4/ - - ------- 4 4
1/4 - cos(p/4)^4/4
