Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$ Then,
$\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x }\sin^2\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x}(1-\cos^2\text{x})\text{dx}$
Let $\text{u}=\cos\text{x},\text{ du}=-\sin\text{x dx}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int-(1-\text{u}^2)\text{du}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\text{u}^3}{3}-\text{u}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\cos^3\text{x}}{3}-\cos\text{x}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=0-\frac{1}{3}+1$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{2}{3}$

A cooperative society of farmers has $50$ hectares of land to grow two crops $X$ and $Y.$ The profits from crops $X$ and $Y$ per hectare are estimated as Rs. $10,500$ and Rs. $9,000$ respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops $X$ and $Y$ at the rate of $20$ litres and $10$ litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than $800$ litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. How much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximise the total profit of the society$?$
