Homework Statement



\int\frac{sin^{2010}x}{2010}



The Attempt at a Solution



All that I could do was to :
\frac{1}{2010^{2}}\int tan xdt

Please help me futher!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
t=sin^{-1}t^{\frac{1}{2010}}
 
Just to clarify, you meant \int \frac{sin^{2010}x}{2010} dx right?

Are you sure this isn't supposed to be a definite integral? Because otherwise the indefinite integral would take about forever to evaluate.
