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

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

- \frac{sin ^{3} ( x )}{3} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

= - \int u^{2} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= - \frac{sin ^{3} ( x )}{3}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{sin ^{3} ( x )}{3} + C
