integrate with proper solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?} \sin ^{4}\theta \cos ^{4}\theta d \theta \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indefinite integral

OpenStudy (psymon):

I believe it would be best to try and use a power reducing formula on both sin and cosine. If you can reduce them to functions of a single power, you can then integrate quite easily.

do i need to use trigo identities for this problem? if i need to which identities should i use?

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yes, you need power-reducing formula. The formulas are this: \[\sin ^{2}\theta=\frac{ 1-\cos(2\theta) }{ 2 } \] \[\cos ^{2}\theta = \frac{ 1+\cos(2\theta) }{ 2 } \] You just would need to do it multiple times with your problem.

thanks

Yep, np :3
