Flowchart
Integrating sin squared and cos cubed etc
Flowchart content
Integrating sin²x and cos²x
(Any Even Power)
Use Cos(2x) formula
cos²x-sinx²=cos2x
1-2sin²x=cos2x
2cos²x-1=cos2x
Rearrange and Integrate as usual
Integrating sin³x and cos³x
(Any odd Power)
Seperate into a product of an even power and single power
i.e
sin²x(sinx)=sin³x
USE C2 trig identity to rearrange the term with power 2
cos²x=1-sin²x
sin²x=1-cos²x
Integrate by SUBSTITUTION using
u = cos(x) or u=sin(x)
Which should give answer in form
u-(1/3)u³
