integral from 0 to pi/2 of-5cos^5(x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} - 5 cos^{5} (x) d x

- \frac{8}{3}

Decimal

- 2.66666 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} - 5 cos^{5} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{5} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= - 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} (1 - sin^{2} (x))^{2} cos (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} (1 - u^{2})^{2} d u

Expand

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} 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

= - 5 (\int_{0}^{1} 1 d u - \int_{0}^{1} 2 u^{2} d u + \int_{0}^{1} u^{4} d u)

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

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

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

= - 5 (1 - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5})

Simplify

- 5 (1 - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5}) : - \frac{8}{3}

= - \frac{8}{3}

\frac{d}{d x} (3 - x^{2})

n = 3 \sum \infty \frac{2}{n ( n + 3 )}

\frac{d h}{d t} = 4 - 16 t^{2}, h (1) = 0

x \to 1 + lim (\frac{8}{x ^{3} - 1})

f (x) = (x^{3} - 9 x)^{10}, (- 3, 0)
