Full solution

Q. Integrate cos3xdx \int \cos ^{3} x d x
  1. Identify Problem: Identify the integral that needs to be solved.\newlineWe need to find the integral of cos3(x)\cos^3(x) with respect to xx.
  2. Rewrite Integral: Rewrite the integral in a more convenient form.\newlineWe can use the trigonometric identity cos2(x)=1sin2(x)\cos^2(x) = 1 - \sin^2(x) to rewrite cos3(x)\cos^3(x) as cos(x)(1sin2(x))\cos(x) \cdot (1 - \sin^2(x)).
  3. Set Up Expression: Set up the integral with the rewritten expression.\newlineThe integral becomes cos(x)(1sin2(x))dx\int \cos(x) \cdot (1 - \sin^2(x)) \, dx.
  4. Use Substitution: Use substitution to solve the integral. Let u=sin(x)u = \sin(x), then du=cos(x)dxdu = \cos(x) dx. The integral now becomes (1u2)du\int(1 - u^2) du.
  5. Integrate with u: Integrate with respect to uu. The integral of 11 with respect to uu is uu, and the integral of u2u^2 with respect to uu is (u3)/3(u^3)/3. So, (1u2)du=u(u3)/3+C\int(1 - u^2) du = u - (u^3)/3 + C, where CC is the constant of integration.
  6. Substitute Back: Substitute back in terms of xx. Since u=sin(x)u = \sin(x), we substitute back to get the integral in terms of xx: sin(x)(sin3(x))/3+C\sin(x) - (\sin^3(x))/3 + C.
