integral from pi/4 to pi/2 of sin^5(x)

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{5} (x) d x

\frac{43}{60 2}

Decimal

0.50675 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{5} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} (1 - cos^{2} (x))^{2} sin (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{\frac{2}{2}}^{0} - 1 + 2 u^{2} - u^{4} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} - 1 + 2 u^{2} - u^{4} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - (- \int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} 1 d u + \int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} 2 u^{2} d u - \int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} u^{4} d u)

\int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} 1 d u = \frac{1}{2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} 2 u^{2} d u = \frac{1}{3 2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{2}{2}} u^{4} d u = \frac{1}{20 2}

= - (- \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3 2} - \frac{1}{20 2})

Simplify

- (- \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3 2} - \frac{1}{20 2}) : \frac{43}{60 2}

= \frac{43}{60 2}
