Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^{\pi}_0\text{x}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$

Answer

 Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^{\pi}_0\text{x}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{i})$$=\int\limits^{\pi}_0(\pi-\text{x})\sin^3(\pi-\text{x})\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\pi}_0(\pi-\text{x})\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\pi}_0(\text{x}+\pi-\text{x})\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\pi}_0\pi\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\pi}_0\pi\frac{3\sin\text{x}-\sin3\text{x}}{4}\text{ dx}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}\int\limits^{\pi}_0\big(3\sin\text{x}-\sin3\text{x}\big)\text{dx}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}\Big[-3\cos\text{x}+\frac{\cos3\text{x}}{3}\Big]^{\pi}_0$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}\Big[-3\cos\pi+3\cos0+\frac{\cos3\pi}{3}-\frac{\cos0}{3}\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}\Big[3+3+\frac{-1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}\Big[3-\frac{1}{3}\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}\times\frac{8}{3}$
$=\frac{4\pi}{3}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\frac{2\pi}{3}$
