- Homework Statement
- evaluate the integral ##\int 75 \sin^3(x) \cos^2 (x)dx##
- Relevant Equations
- u-substitution
my notebook says that we can rewrite the integral
$$\int {75\sin^3(x) \cos^2(x)dx}$$
as
$$\int {75 \cos^2(x)\sin(x)dx} - \int {75\sin(x)\cos^4(x)dx}$$
however, i have literally no idea how it got to this point, and i unfortunately can't really provide an "attempt at a solution" for this. If we can seperate integrals with multiplication in their integrands in such a way, why don't we use this more often?
