Solution

To solve the integral 16sin4(x)cos(x)dx \int 16 \sin^4(x) \cos(x) \, dx using the substitution u=sin(x) u = \sin(x) , we can follow these steps:

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to convert the integral into a function of u u and then integrate. The substitution u=sin(x) u = \sin(x) leads to du=cos(x)dx du = \cos(x) \, dx , which allows us to replace cos(x)dx \cos(x) \, dx with du du .

2. Relevant Concepts

Using the substitution:

  • Given u=sin(x) u = \sin(x) implies sin4(x)=u4 \sin^4(x) = u^4 .
  • The differential becomes cos(x)dx=du \cos(x) \, dx = du .

3. Analysis and Detail

Substituting into the integral: 16sin4(x)cos(x)dx=16u4du \int 16 \sin^4(x) \cos(x) \, dx = \int 16 u^4 \, du Now, we integrate 16u4 16 u^4 : 16u4du=16u55=165u5+C \int 16 u^4 \, du = 16 \cdot \frac{u^5}{5} = \frac{16}{5} u^5 + C

4. Verify and Summarize

After integrating, we substitute back u=sin(x) u = \sin(x) : 165u5+C=165sin5(x)+C \frac{16}{5} u^5 + C = \frac{16}{5} \sin^5(x) + C

Final Answer

Thus, the final result of the integral in terms of sin(x) \sin(x) is: 16sin4(x)cos(x)dx=165sin5(x)+C \int 16 \sin^4(x) \cos(x) \, dx = \frac{16}{5} \sin^5(x) + C
