\int{ x^3 \sqrt{(36-x^2)}dx}

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried using trig substitution but got 7776\int{cos^3(\theta)-cos^5(\theta)d\theta} which seems completely wrong



6cos(\theta)=x <br />
6sin(\theta)d\theta=dx <br />
6sin(\theta)=\sqrt{36-x^2} <br />

\int{ (6cos(\theta))^36sin(\theta)6sin(\theta)d\theta

You have an odd number of "x"s outside the square root so try this: Write the integral as \int x^2\sqrt{36- x^2}(x dx) and let u= 36- x². Then du= 2x dx so x dx= (1/2)du and x^2= 36- u.
