Evaluating the integral of sin²x cos⁴x

[turutk]

Homework Statement

$$\int sin^2x cos^4x dx$$

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

tried:
sin2x formula
writing 1-cos^2 instead of sin^2x
letting u=sinx
letting u=cosx

no luck yet

 

[lurflurf]

recall that
[sin(x)]^2[cos(x)]^4=(2+cos(2x)-2cos(4x)-cos(6x))/32
or recall that
[sin(x)]^2[cos(x)]^4=(A+B cos(2x)+C cos(4x)+D cos(6x))/32
for some numbers A,B,C,D and deduce such numbers
or integrate by parts
or make us of trigonometric reduction formula
