Homework Statement
My book has given me this example, with a step by step, but one of the steps have left me dumbfounded, they seem to have left a huge gap in steps..
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
\int sin^{5}xdx
\int sin^{4}x sinx dx
\int (1-cos^{2}x)^{2} sinx dx
\int (1 - 2cos^{2} x + cos^{4} x) sinx dx
Cool story bro. Here's the next step, what happened?
= - cos x + \frac{2}{3}cos^{3}x - \frac{1}{5}cos^{5} x + C
Did they bring a negative out of the integral and do some kind of U substitution?
