Theorem
- $\ds \int \sin^3 a x \rd x = -\frac {\cos a x} a + \frac {\cos^3 a x} {3 a} + C$
Proof
\(\ds \int \sin^3 a x \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \paren {1 - \cos^2 a x} \sin a x \rd x\) | Sum of Squares of Sine and Cosine | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \sin a x \rd x - \int \cos^2 a x \sin a x \rd x\) | Linear Combination of Primitives | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\dfrac {\cos a x} a - \int \cos^2 a x \sin a x \rd x + C\) | Primitive of $\sin a x$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\dfrac {\cos a x} a + \dfrac {\cos^3 a x} a + C\) | Primitive of Power of $\cos a x$ by $\sin a x$ |
$\blacksquare$
