Integral X^4 sin dx

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

|dw:1409620394825:dw|

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

this?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you want it in terms of an angle 2x, and this way you will get the answer just with sines, or to reduce to a single x which will make you have cosines as well as sines .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\large \int\limits_{ }^{ }\sin^m(x)~dx=~-\frac{\cos(x)\sin^{m-1}(x)}{m}+\frac{m+1}{m}\int\limits_{ }^{ } \sin^{m-2}(x)~dx\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

that is a reduction formula, but I as a student that only started doing limits (officially) will try to withhold my self from doing this integral.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then, apply your identities, after you use this formula.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

If you do any work, I would prefer to see it. Or at least what you get after using the reduction formula.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i can't what integral you are doing @SolomonZelman there is and x^4?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

see*

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

0hhh, I did sin^4x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } x^4~\sin(x)~~dx\] this ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Poster, please reply to the thread.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

integrate it by parts.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i thought it was that one! but you did sin^4x

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes! i was thinking about by part

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yeah, by accident I thought it is sin^4x, sorry. For the normal one, I am out since no replies are made. bye !
