9–61. Trigonometric integrals Evaluate the following integrals.
15. ∫ sin³x cos²x dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Step 1: Recognize that the integral involves powers of sine and cosine. To simplify, use trigonometric identities. Specifically, split the odd power of sine: sin³x = sin²x * sinx, and recall the Pythagorean identity sin²x = 1 - cos²x.
Step 2: Rewrite the integral as ∫ (1 - cos²x) * sinx * cos²x dx. This allows us to express the integral in terms of cosx, making substitution easier.
Step 3: Perform a substitution. Let u = cosx, which implies that du = -sinx dx. Substitute these into the integral, replacing cosx with u and sinx dx with -du.
Step 4: After substitution, the integral becomes ∫ (1 - u²) * u² * (-du). Simplify this expression to ∫ (-u² + u⁴) du.
Step 5: Integrate term by term. Use the power rule for integration: ∫ uⁿ du = uⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1). After integrating, back-substitute u = cosx to express the result in terms of x.

Power Reduction Formulas

Power reduction formulas are used to express powers of sine and cosine in terms of first-degree functions. These formulas, such as sin²x = (1 - cos(2x))/2, help in simplifying integrals involving higher powers of trigonometric functions. Applying these formulas can make the integration of functions like sin³x cos²x more straightforward.

102–106. Laplace transforms A powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function f(t), the Laplace transform is a new function F(s) defined by F(s) = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) f(t) dt, where we assume s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of f(t) = e^(-t), the following improper integral is evaluated using integration by parts:

F(s) = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) e^(-t) dt = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-(s+1)t) dt = 1/(s+1).

Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number.
