integral from 0 to pi/2 of sin^7(y)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{7} (y) d y

\frac{16}{35}

Decimal Notation

0.45714 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{7} (y) d y

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} (1 - cos^{2} (y))^{3} sin (y) d y

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{1}^{0} - (1 - u^{2})^{3} d u

= \int_{1}^{0} - (1 - u^{2})^{3} d u

Expand

- (1 - u^{2})^{3} : - 1 + 3 u^{2} - 3 u^{4} + u^{6}

= \int_{1}^{0} - 1 + 3 u^{2} - 3 u^{4} + u^{6} d u

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

= - \int_{0}^{1} - 1 + 3 u^{2} - 3 u^{4} + u^{6} 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}^{1} 1 d u + \int_{0}^{1} 3 u^{2} d u - \int_{0}^{1} 3 u^{4} d u + \int_{0}^{1} u^{6} d u)

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

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

\int_{0}^{1} 3 u^{4} d u = \frac{3}{5}

\int_{0}^{1} u^{6} d u = \frac{1}{7}

= - (- 1 + 1 - \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{7})

Simplify

- (- 1 + 1 - \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{7}) : \frac{16}{35}

= \frac{16}{35}

\int 1 - (- 2 sin^{2} (x + 4))^{2} d x

\frac{3}{s}

\frac{d ^{2}}{d x ^{2}} (\frac{x ^{2} + 6 x}{x ^{2} - 9})

\int 4096 - x^{2} d x

\int \frac{cos ( 3 π x )}{2} d x
