Trigonometric Integrals

When the integrand is primarily or exclusively based on trigonometric functions, the following techniques are useful.

Powers of Sine and Cosine

We will give a general method to solve generally integrands of the form Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \cos^m(x)\cdot\sin^n(x)} . First let us work through an example.

$\int \cos ^{3}(x)\sin ^{2}(x)dx$

Notice that the integrand contains an odd power of cos. So rewrite it as

$\int \cos ^{2}(x)\sin ^{2}(x)\cos(x)dx$

We can solve this by making the substitution $u=\sin(x)$ so $du=\cos(x)dx$ . Then we can write the whole integrand in terms of $u$ by using the identity

$\cos ^{2}(x)=1-\sin ^{2}(x)=1-u^{2}$ .

So

$\int \cos ^{3}(x)\sin ^{2}(x)dx$	$=\int \cos ^{2}(x)\sin ^{2}(x)\cos(x)dx$
	$=\int (1-u^{2})u^{2}du$
	$=\int u^{2}du-\int u^{4}du$
	$={\frac {u^{3}}{3}}+{\frac {u^{5}}{5}}+C$
	$={\frac {\sin ^{3}(x)}{3}}-{\frac {\sin ^{5}(x)}{5}}+C$

This method works whenever there is an odd power of sine or cosine.

To evaluate $\int \cos ^{m}(x)\sin ^{n}(x)dx$ when either $m$ or $n$ is odd.

• If $m$ is odd substitute $u=\sin(x)$ and use the identity $\cos ^{2}(x)=1-\sin ^{2}(x)=1-u^{2}$ .
• If $n$ is odd substitute $u=\cos(x)$ and use the identity $\sin ^{2}(x)=1-\cos ^{2}(x)=1-u^{2}$ .

Example
