The integral of 5*(sin(6x)/sin(3x))dx

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. I moved 5 to the left of the integral, but then I'm lost. Apparently I'm rusty on these trig identities.

Could anyone help me get started? Thank you.

Look up the double angle formula for sine, wikipedia is good. You should be able to simplify with the bottom some then.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
