ok so...
OpenStudy (turingtest):
and what exactly is the problem here?
I've seen you do much harder than this
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
\[\sin(x)(\cos(x)^2)^4 \cos(x)\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
why?
OpenStudy (turingtest):
why would you want to do that?

Just going by the section stuff :P.
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
Maybe it's easier than I'm thinking?
OpenStudy (turingtest):
also\[\cos(x)^2\]is very confusing notation, does it mean\[\cos^2x\]or\[\cos(x^2)\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
and yes, it's way easier than you are thinking

standard table of integrals for
\[\int\sin ^nx\cos^mx\text dx\]

I guess (cos(x))^9 is the same as cos^9(x)?
OpenStudy (turingtest):
right
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
what rhauskus said :P
OpenStudy (turingtest):
but that is for the general case
your problem should be solvable by eye
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
I could say u = cos(x)
du = -sin(x)dx
-du = sin(x)dx
\[-\int\limits u^9 du\]

exactly :)
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
\[\frac{-u^{10}}{10} +c\]
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
\[\frac{-cos^{10}}{10} +c\]
OpenStudy (konradzuse):
-cos(x)
OpenStudy (turingtest):
to make the cos part look better put a forward slash first
\cos{whatever}\[\cos{whatever}\]
