integral of sin^4(x/2)cos(x/2)

\int sin^{4} (\frac{x}{2}) cos (\frac{x}{2}) d x

\frac{2}{5} sin^{5} (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int sin^{4} (\frac{x}{2}) cos (\frac{x}{2}) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int sin^{4} (u) cos (u) \cdot 2 d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int sin^{4} (u) cos (u) d u

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int v^{4} d v

Apply the Power Rule

= 2 \cdot \frac{v ^{5}}{5}

Substitute back

= 2 \cdot \frac{sin ^{5} ( \frac{x}{2} )}{5}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{sin ^{5} ( \frac{x}{2} )}{5} : \frac{2}{5} sin^{5} (\frac{x}{2})

= \frac{2}{5} sin^{5} (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{5} sin^{5} (\frac{x}{2}) + C
