Capitolo 8, Problema 8.3.62

Exercises 59–64 require the use of various trigonometric identities before you evaluate the integrals.
∫ sin³(θ) cos(2θ) dθ

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the integral involves powers of sine and cosine with different arguments, so start by expressing \( \sin^3(\theta) \) in a form that is easier to integrate. Use the identity \( \sin^3(\theta) = \sin(\theta) \cdot \sin^2(\theta) \) and then rewrite \( \sin^2(\theta) \) using the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2(\theta) = 1 - \cos^2(\theta) \).
Rewrite the integral as \( \int \sin(\theta) (1 - \cos^2(\theta)) \cos(2\theta) \, d\theta \). This separates the powers and prepares the integral for substitution or further simplification.
Use the double-angle identity for cosine: \( \cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1 \). Substitute this into the integral to express everything in terms of \( \cos(\theta) \) and \( \sin(\theta) \).
Consider the substitution \( u = \cos(\theta) \), which implies \( du = -\sin(\theta) d\theta \). Rewrite the integral in terms of \( u \) and \( du \), replacing \( \sin(\theta) d\theta \) with \( -du \).
After substitution, the integral becomes a polynomial in \( u \). Expand and simplify the polynomial expression, then integrate term-by-term with respect to \( u \).

Power-Reducing and Double-Angle Formulas

Power-reducing formulas convert powers of sine or cosine into expressions involving first powers of cosine or sine with multiple angles. Double-angle formulas express functions like cos(2θ) in terms of cos²θ and sin²θ, aiding in simplifying integrals involving products of trigonometric powers.
