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

integral

sin^{3} (x) cos^{3} (x)

- \frac{cos ^{4} ( x )}{4} + \frac{cos ^{6} ( x )}{6} + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int (1 - cos^{2} (x)) sin (x) cos^{3} (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - u^{3} (1 - u^{2}) d u

Expand

- u^{3} (1 - u^{2}) : - u^{3} + u^{5}

= \int - u^{3} + u^{5} 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 u^{3} d u + \int u^{5} d u

\int u^{3} d u = \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

\int u^{5} d u = \frac{u ^{6}}{6}

= - \frac{u ^{4}}{4} + \frac{u ^{6}}{6}

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

= - \frac{cos ^{4} ( x )}{4} + \frac{cos ^{6} ( x )}{6}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{cos ^{4} ( x )}{4} + \frac{cos ^{6} ( x )}{6} + C
