Homework Statement
Are there any sample problems worked out for trig functions of higher powers which are integrated by reduction formula? Like cos^8 or cos^10 or even just cos^6 or maybe?

Integration by parts is a method used in calculus to evaluate the integral of a product of two functions. It is based on the product rule for differentiation and allows for the integration of functions that cannot be integrated by other methods.
The reduction formula in integration by parts is a method used to find the integral of a function that contains a repeated variable in the form of a power. It involves using the integration by parts method multiple times until the power is reduced to a constant or a simple form that can be integrated directly.
Integration by parts should be used when the function to be integrated is a product of two functions, and one of the functions does not have a simple antiderivative. It is also useful when the function contains a repeated variable in the form of a power.
The formula for integration by parts is ∫u(x)v'(x) dx = u(x)v(x) - ∫v(x)u'(x) dx, where u(x) and v(x) are the two functions to be integrated. This formula is derived from the product rule for differentiation.
No, the reduction formula can only be used for integrals that contain a repeated variable in the form of a power. It is not applicable for all integrals and should be used with caution, as it can sometimes lead to incorrect results.
