Is This Integration of Trigonometric Functions Correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integration of the trigonometric function ∫cos(72x)dx was correctly approached using the substitution method with u = sin(2x). The solution was simplified to 1/2(sin(2x)) - 1/2(sin^3(2x)) + 3/10(sin^5(2x)) - 1/14(sin^7(2x)) + C. The final answer was confirmed as correct by participants in the discussion, indicating a successful application of integration techniques involving trigonometric identities and substitution.

please correct me with my solution here.

∫cos72xdx = ∫(cos62x cos2x)dx

=∫(1-sin22x)3cos2x

let u = sin2x;
du = cos2xdx
dx = (du/2cos2x)

∫(1-u2)3cos2x*du/2cos2x
1/2∫(1-u2)3*du
1/2∫(1-u2)2*(1-u2)du
1/2∫[(1-3u2-u4-u6]du
1/2∫du-3/2∫u2du-1/2∫u4du-1/2∫u6du

1/2(u)+1/2(u3)-1/10(u5)-1/14(u7)+C

1/2(sin2x)+1/2(sin32x)-1/10(sin52x)-1/14(sin72x)+C

are they correct?

∫(1-u2)3cos2x*du/2cos2x
1/2∫(1-u2)3*du
1/2∫(1-u2)2*(1-u2)du
1/2∫[(1-3u2-u4-u6]du -u4 should be +3u4
1/2∫du-3/2∫u2du-1/2∫u4du-1/2∫u6du

1/2(u)+1/2(u3)-1/10(u5)-1/14(u7)+C

1/2(sin2x)+1/2(sin32x)-1/10(sin52x)-1/14(sin72x)+C

are they correct?
...
 
$$(1/2) \sin(2x)-(1/2) \sin^{3}(2x)+(3/10) \sin^{5}(2x)-(1/14) \sin^{7}(2x)+C.$$

Is this the right answer?

Is this the write answer? (I supposed you mean right,correct...)
Yes, well done(Clapping)
