Find the integral of the function y=sinx*cos(3x)*cos^2 x-cos(3x)*sin^3 x?

First,we'll factorize by sin x*cos 3x and we'll
get:


y = sin x*cos 3x*[(cos x)^2 - (sin
x)^2]


We recognize the double angle
formula:


[(cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2] = cos
2x


The function will become: y = sin x*cos 2x*cos
3x


Now, we'll transform the product cos2x*cos3x into a
sum:


cos2x*cos3x = [cos(2x + 3x) + cos (2x -
3x)]/2


cos2x*cos3x = [cos(5x) + cos
(-x)]/2


Based on fact that cosine function is even, we'll
replace cos(-x) = cos x.


cos2x*cos3x = (cos 5x+ cos
x)/2


The function will
become:


y = (sin x*cos 5x)/2 + (sin x*cos
x)/2


We'll transform the product sin x*cos 5x into a
difference:


sin x*cos 5x = [sin(x+5x) +
sin(x-5x)]/2


sin x*cos 5x = [sin(6x) +
sin(-4x)]/2


Since sine function is odd, we'll put sin(-x) =
-sin x.


sin x*cos 5x = (sin 6x - sin
4x)/2


The 2nd term of y is sin x*cos x/2 = 2*sin x*cos
x/2*2 = sin 2x/4


We'll evaluate the integral of the
function:


Int ydx = Int (sin 6x - sin 4x)dx/4 + Int sin
2xdx/4


Int ydx = Int (sin 6x)dx/4 - Int(sin 4x)dx/4 + Int
sin 2xdx/4


The integral of the given function
y is: Int ydx = (-cos 6x)/24 + (cos 4x)/16 - (cos 2x)/8 +

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
