Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\cos^5\text{x}\text{ dx}$

Answer

$\int\cos^5\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\cos^4\text{x}\cdot\cos\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int(1-\sin^2\text{x})^2\cos\text{x}\text{ dx}$
Let $\sin\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\cos\text{x}\text{ dx}=\text{dt}$
Now, $\int(1-\sin^2\text{x})^2\cos\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int(1-\text{t}^2)^2\text{ dt}$
$=\int(1+\text{t}^4-2\text{t}^2)\text{dt}$
$=\int\text{dt}+\int\text{t}^4\text{ dt}-2\int\text{t}^2\text{ dt}$
$=\text{t}+\frac{\text{t}^5}{5}-\frac{2\text{t}^3}{3}+\text{C}$
$=\sin\text{x}+\frac{\sin^5\text{x}}{5}-\frac{2}{3}\sin^3\text{x}+\text{C}$
