integral of cos^4(w)

\int cos^{4} (w) d w

cos^{3} (w) sin (w) + \frac{3}{8} (w - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 w)) + C

Solution steps

\int cos^{4} (w) d w

Simplify

cos^{4} (w) : cos^{3} (w) cos (w)

= \int cos^{3} (w) cos (w) d w

Apply Integration By Parts

= cos^{3} (w) sin (w) - \int - 3 cos^{2} (w) sin^{2} (w) d w

\int - 3 cos^{2} (w) sin^{2} (w) d w = - \frac{3}{8} (w - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 w))

= cos^{3} (w) sin (w) - (- \frac{3}{8} (w - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 w)))

Simplify

= cos^{3} (w) sin (w) + \frac{3}{8} (w - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 w))

Add a constant to the solution

= cos^{3} (w) sin (w) + \frac{3}{8} (w - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 w)) + C
