Use any method to evaluate the integrals in Exercises 65–70.
∫ sin³(x) / cos⁴(x) dx
검증된 단계별 안내1
Rewrite the integrand \( \frac{\sin^3(x)}{\cos^4(x)} \) by expressing \( \sin^3(x) \) as \( \sin(x) \cdot \sin^2(x) \). This gives \( \int \frac{\sin(x) \cdot \sin^2(x)}{\cos^4(x)} \, dx \).
Use the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2(x) = 1 - \cos^2(x) \) to rewrite \( \sin^2(x) \) in terms of \( \cos(x) \). Substitute this into the integral to get \( \int \frac{\sin(x) (1 - \cos^2(x))}{\cos^4(x)} \, dx \).
Make the substitution \( u = \cos(x) \), which implies \( du = -\sin(x) \, dx \) or equivalently \( -du = \sin(x) \, dx \). Replace \( \sin(x) \, dx \) in the integral with \( -du \).
Rewrite the integral entirely in terms of \( u \): \( \int \frac{\sin(x)(1 - u^2)}{u^4} \, dx = - \int \frac{1 - u^2}{u^4} \, du \).
Split the integral into simpler terms: \( - \int \left( u^{-4} - u^{-2} \right) du \). Then integrate each term separately using the power rule for integrals.

Trigonometric Identities and Manipulations
Understanding how to rewrite powers of sine and cosine using identities or algebraic manipulation is essential. For example, expressing sin³(x) as sin(x)·sin²(x) and then using sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x) helps simplify the integral into a more manageable form.
