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

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

\frac{8}{15}

Decimal Notation

0.53333 \dots

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{1}^{0} - 1 + 2 u^{2} - u^{4} d u

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

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

= - \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

= - (- \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}

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

Simplify

- (- 1 + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{5}) : \frac{8}{15}

= \frac{8}{15}

\int_{0}^{2} 8000 t e^{- 0.6 t} d t

\int \frac{6 x ^{2} + 3 x + 10}{x ^{3} + 2 x ^{2} + 5 x} d x

x^{2} + 40

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{5} - 2 x}{- 5})
