integral from pi/2 to pi of sin^3(x)

\int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{π} sin^{3} (x) d x

\frac{2}{3}

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{π} sin^{3} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

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

= - \int_{- 1}^{0} - 1 + u^{2} 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_{- 1}^{0} 1 d u + \int_{- 1}^{0} u^{2} d u)

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

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

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{2}{3}

\int_{0}^{5} 6 e^{2 x} d x

\int_{- 1}^{0} x^{2} x + 1 d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} t^{3} (2 + t^{4})^{3} d t

\int_{0}^{1} sinh (4 x) (x^{2} + 5) d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 2 x - 3} d x
