Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 1–22.
∫ cos³(2x) sin⁵(2x) dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the integral involves powers of sine and cosine functions with the same argument, which suggests using trigonometric identities or substitution to simplify the expression.
Express one of the trigonometric functions in terms of the other using the Pythagorean identity. For example, rewrite \(\cos^3(2x)\) as \(\cos(2x) \cdot \cos^2(2x)\) and then use \(\cos^2(2x) = 1 - \sin^2(2x)\).
Rewrite the integral as \(\int \cos(2x) (1 - \sin^2(2x)) \sin^5(2x) \, dx\), which separates the powers of sine and cosine and prepares for substitution.
Use the substitution \(u = \sin(2x)\), then compute \(du = 2 \cos(2x) \, dx\), or equivalently, \(\cos(2x) \, dx = \frac{du}{2}\), to rewrite the integral entirely in terms of \(u\).
Substitute into the integral to get an integral in terms of \(u\): \(\int (1 - u^2) u^5 \frac{du}{2}\), then simplify and integrate the resulting polynomial expression with respect to \(u\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Trigonometric Identities

Trigonometric identities like power-reduction and product-to-sum formulas help simplify integrals involving powers of sine and cosine. For example, expressing cos³(2x) as cos(2x)·cos²(2x) and then using cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ) can make the integral more manageable.
