Evaluate the integral

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \sin^2(\pi x) \cos^5(\pi x)\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

so I make this \[\int\limits_{}^{}\sin^2(\pi x) (1-\sin^2(\pi x))^2 \cos(\pi x)\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

would I then use U substitution?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

or can I factor out the PI?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

@iambatman

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmmm you second comment what yo did is incorrect

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

how about you do this: \[\int \sin^2\pi x \cos ^5\pi x=\int \sin^2 \pi x (1-\sin^2 \pi x)^2\cos \pi xdx\] use U sub \[u=\sin \pi x \Longrightarrow du=\pi \cos \pi x dx\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

actually you did good just looked it again :)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay I was close though lol

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay let me give this a try

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah pretty close :)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

why is du = pi cos pix

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

chain rule

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

do you mind writing out how you got there I am terrible with trig

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\[(f(g(x)))'=g'(x)f'(g(x)))\] this is the chain rule

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

suppose \[u=\pi x\] then we have \[\sin u\] when we differentiate that with respect to x we should have \[\frac{d}{dx}\sin u=\frac{d}{dx}(u)\frac{d}{du}\sin u=u'\cos u\] what is u' its just pi \[u=\pi x \Longrightarrow u'=\pi \] so we get \[\pi \cos \pi x\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay thanks, so I get this now\[\frac{ 1 }{ \pi }\int\limits_{}^{}u^2(1-u^2)du\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no! you forgot one thing think about it more

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

close :)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

oh the ^2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah good catch you forgot the square

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

can you do it now

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

Let me give it a shot

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

go :)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

Can you check my distribution \[(u^2 - 2u^4 + u^8) \]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

u^6 not u^8

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the rest is good

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay so now I integrate that

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yep

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \pi }(\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }u^3-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }u^5+\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }u^9)\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

+ c

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

forgot that is a six

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i said the last term was u^6 not u^8 lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yah lol

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

besides that

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

good job :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

just go back to sinpix don't leave it u

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \pi }(\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }(\sin \pi x)^3-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }(\sin \pi x)^5 + \frac{ 1 }{ 7 } (\sin \pi x)^7 + c\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

now distribute the pi

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

good job

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

whatever you like hehe i prefer it that way

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

Awesome thanks for your patience!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you are awesome actually hehe and no problem

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

haha thanks

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

-_^ keep it up, i think you are good at this work more of this for mastery

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

will do!
