integral of 2sin^3(x)cos(x)

\int 2 sin^{3} (x) cos (x) d x

\frac{1}{2} sin^{4} (x) + C

Solution steps

\int 2 sin^{3} (x) cos (x) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int sin^{3} (x) cos (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int u^{3} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= 2 \cdot \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= 2 \cdot \frac{sin ^{4} ( x )}{4}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{sin ^{4} ( x )}{4} : \frac{1}{2} sin^{4} (x)

= \frac{1}{2} sin^{4} (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} sin^{4} (x) + C
