∫(sinx)^3 dx

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

i believe the answer is (1/3)(cosx)^3 -x but I want to be sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lets rewrite it.. sin^3(x)=(−cos^2(x)+1)sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=−sin(x)cos^2(x)+sin(x)

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

i got to the point where it was (1-(cosx)^2)sins dx

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

then you use u-sub

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but your final answer is a bit wrong i think

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

so the next step would be -∫1-u^2 du right? after the u-sub

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1/3)(cosx)^3 is integral of −sin(x)cos^2(x)

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then just add integral of sin(x to that...

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

ok
