SUMMARY

The integral ∫(cos^3(x)/√(sin(x)))dx can be solved using substitution methods. The user initially substituted sin(x) with t, leading to dt=cos(x)dx and transforming the integral into ∫(cos^2(x)/√(t))dt. By expressing cos^2(x) as 1-sin^2(x), the integral simplifies to ∫((1-t^2)/√(t))dt. While Wolfram Alpha suggests an alternative substitution, both methods yield correct results, differing only slightly in numerical values.

Homework Statement



I've been trying to integrate the following: ∫[STRIKE]\frac{cos^3(x)}{\sqrt{sin(x)}}[/STRIKE]dx

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



First, I substituted sin(x) with t, and got dt=cos(x)dx => dx=\frac{dt}{cos(x)}.
After that I got ∫[STRIKE]\frac{cos^2(x)}{\sqrt{t}}[/STRIKE]dt
Then i transformed cos^2(x) into 1-sin^2(x), and finally got to ∫[STRIKE]\frac{1-t^2}{\sqrt{t}}[/STRIKE]dt

I thought I could just disintegrate them into two smaller integrals like ∫[STRIKE]\frac{1}{\sqrt{t}}[/STRIKE]dt - ∫[STRIKE]\frac{t^2}{\sqrt{t}}[/STRIKE]dt , and solve them easily, and then reverse the substitution.

Wolfram proposes that i cannot(?) do that, or rather prefers that I do another substitution.

I even tried to make it a defined integral, and calculate the values between the Wolfram solution, and my own. They differ by 0.1 or something similar.

Can someone explain what is the right way to do it?

Both are correct. Wolfram just does another substitution which isn't really too necessary. Both give the same correct integral.
 
Thank you very much for your help!
