integral from 0 to pi/2 of sin^3(x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{3} (x) d x

\frac{2}{3}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{3} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{2}{3}

\int - 4 x^{2} - 4 x + 48 d x

x \to 0 + lim (ln (\frac{7}{x ^{3}}))

\int \frac{1}{x} - x d x

y = \frac{3}{x}, (- 2, - \frac{3}{2})

\int x^{\frac{1}{9}} d x
