Integrating Products and Powers of sin

A key idea behind the strategy used to integrate combinations of products and powers of \(\text{sin}\ x\) and \(\text{cos}\ x\) involves rewriting these expressions as sums and differences of integrals of the form \(\int {\text{sin}}^{j}x\ \text{cos}\ x\ dx\) or \(\int {\text{cos}}^{j}x\ \text{sin}\ x\ dx.\) After rewriting these integrals, we evaluate them using u-substitution. Before describing the general process in detail, let’s take a look at the following examples.

Example

Try it.

Evaluate \(\int {\text{cos}}^{3}x\ \text{sin}\ x\ dx.\)

Solution

Use \(u\)-substitution and let \(u=\text{cos}\ x.\) In this case, \(du=\text{-}\text{sin}\ x\ dx.\) Thus,

\[\begin{array}{ll}\int {\text{cos}}^{3}\ x\ \text{sin}\ x\ dx & =\text{-}\int {u}^{3}\ du \\ & =-\frac{1}{4}{u}^{4}+C \\ & =-\frac{1}{4}{\text{cos}}^{4}\ x+C.\end{array}\]

Example

Try it.

Evaluate \(\int {\text{cos}}^{2}x\ {\text{sin}}^{3}x\ dx.\)

Solution

To convert this integral to integrals of the form \(\int {\text{cos}}^{j}x\ \text{sin}\ x\ dx,\) rewrite \({\text{sin}}^{3}x={\text{sin}}^{2}x\ \text{sin}\ x\) and make the substitution \({\text{sin}}^{2}x=1-{\text{cos}}^{2}x.\) Thus,

\[\begin{array}{lll}\int {\text{cos}}^{2}x\ {\text{sin}}^{3}x\ dx & =\int {\text{cos}}^{2}x(1-{\text{cos}}^{2}x)\text{sin}\ x\ dx & \text{Let}\ u=\text{cos}\ x;\ \text{then}\ du=\text{-}\text{sin}\ x\ dx. \\ & =\text{-}\int {u}^{2}(1-{u}^{2})du & \\ & =\int ({u}^{4}-{u}^{2})du & \\ & =\frac{1}{5}{u}^{5}-\frac{1}{3}{u}^{3}+C & \\ & =\frac{1}{5}{\text{cos}}^{5}x-\frac{1}{3}{\text{cos}}^{3}x+C. & \end{array}\]

In the next example, we see the strategy that must be applied when there are only even powers of \(\text{sin}\ x\) and \(\text{cos}\ x.\) For integrals of this type, the identities

\[{\text{sin}}^{2}x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\text{cos}(2x)=\frac{1-\text{cos}(2x)}{2}\]

and

\[{\text{cos}}^{2}x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{cos}(2x)=\frac{1+\text{cos}(2x)}{2}\]

are invaluable. These identities are sometimes known as power-reducing identities and they may be derived from the double-angle identity \(\text{cos}(2x)={\text{cos}}^{2}x-{\text{sin}}^{2}x\) and the Pythagorean identity \({\text{cos}}^{2}x+{\text{sin}}^{2}x=1.\)

The general process for integrating products of powers of \(\text{sin}\ x\) and \(\text{cos}\ x\) is summarized in the following set of guidelines.

Integrating Products and Powers of tan

Before discussing the integration of products and powers of \(\text{tan}\ x\) and \(\text{sec}\ x,\) it is useful to recall the integrals involving \(\text{tan}\ x\) and \(\text{sec}\ x\) we have already learned:

\(\int {\text{sec}}^{2}x\ dx=\text{tan}\ x+C\)
\(\int \text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx=\text{sec}\ x+C\)
\(\int \text{tan}\ x\ dx=\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x|+C\)
\(\int \text{sec}\ x\ dx=\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x+\text{tan}\ x|+C.\)

For most integrals of products and powers of \(\text{tan}\ x\) and \(\text{sec}\ x,\) we rewrite the expression we wish to integrate as the sum or difference of integrals of the form \(\int {\text{tan}}^{j}x\ {\text{sec}}^{2}x\ dx\) or \(\int {\text{sec}}^{j}x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx.\) As we see in the following example, we can evaluate these new integrals by using u-substitution.

Example

Try it.

Evaluate \(\int {\text{sec}}^{5}x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx.\)

Solution

Start by rewriting \({\text{sec}}^{5}x\ \text{tan}\ x\) as \({\text{sec}}^{4}x\ \text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x.\)

\[\begin{array}{llll}\int {\text{sec}}^{5}x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx & =\int {\text{sec}}^{4}x\ \text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx & & \text{Let}\ u=\text{sec}\ x;\ \text{then},\ du=\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx. \\ & =\int {u}^{4}du & & \text{Evaluate the integral}. \\ & =\frac{1}{5}{u}^{5}+C & & \text{Substitute}\ \text{sec}\ x=u. \\ & =\frac{1}{5}{\text{sec}}^{5}x+C & & \end{array}\]

We now take a look at the various strategies for integrating products and powers of \(\text{sec}\ x\) and \(\text{tan}\ x.\)

Example

Try it.

Evaluate \(\int {\text{tan}}^{6}x\ {\text{sec}}^{4}x\ dx.\)

Solution

Since the power on \(\text{sec}\ x\) is even, rewrite \({\text{sec}}^{4}x={\text{sec}}^{2}x\ {\text{sec}}^{2}x\) and use \({\text{sec}}^{2}x={\text{tan}}^{2}x+1\) to rewrite the first \({\text{sec}}^{2}x\) in terms of \(\text{tan}\ x.\) Thus,

\[\begin{array}{llll}\int {\text{tan}}^{6}x\ {\text{sec}}^{4}x\ dx & =\int {\text{tan}}^{6}x({\text{tan}}^{2}x+1){\text{sec}}^{2}x\ dx & & \text{Let}\ u=\text{tan}\ x\ \text{and}\ du={\text{sec}}^{2}x\text{dx}. \\ & =\int {u}^{6}({u}^{2}+1)du & & \text{Expand}. \\ & =\int ({u}^{8}+{u}^{6})du & & \text{Evaluate the integral}. \\ & =\frac{1}{9}{u}^{9}+\frac{1}{7}{u}^{7}+C & & \text{Substitute}\ \text{tan}\ x=u. \\ & =\frac{1}{9}{\text{tan}}^{9}x+\frac{1}{7}{\text{tan}}^{7}x+C. & & \end{array}\]

Reduction Formulas

Evaluating \(\int {\text{sec}}^{n}x\ dx\) for values of \(n\) where \(n\) is odd requires integration by parts. In addition, we must also know the value of \(\int {\text{sec}}^{n-2}x\ dx\) to evaluate \(\int {\text{sec}}^{n}x\ dx.\) The evaluation of \(\int {\text{tan}}^{n}x\ dx\) also requires being able to integrate \(\int {\text{tan}}^{n-2}x\ dx.\) To make the process easier, we can derive and apply the following power reduction formulas. These rules allow us to replace the integral of a power of \(\text{sec}\ x\) or \(\text{tan}\ x\) with the integral of a lower power of \(\text{sec}\ x\) or \(\text{tan}\ x.\)

Example

Try it.

Apply a reduction formula to evaluate \(\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx.\)

Solution

By applying the first reduction formula, we obtain

\[\begin{array}{ll}\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx & =\frac{1}{2}\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\frac{1}{2}\int \text{sec}\ x\ dx \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\frac{1}{2}\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x+\text{tan}\ x|+C.\end{array}\]

Example

Try it.

Evaluate \(\int {\text{tan}}^{4}x\ dx.\)

Solution

Applying the reduction formula for \(\int {\text{tan}}^{4}x\ dx\) we have

\[\begin{array}{llll}\int {\text{tan}}^{4}x\ dx & =\frac{1}{3}{\text{tan}}^{3}x-\int {\text{tan}}^{2}x\ dx & & \\ & =\frac{1}{3}{\text{tan}}^{3}x-(\text{tan}\ x-\int {\text{tan}}^{0}x\ dx) & & \text{Apply the reduction formula to}\int {\text{tan}}^{2}x\ dx. \\ & =\frac{1}{3}{\text{tan}}^{3}x-\text{tan}\ x+\int 1\ dx & & \text{Simplify}. \\ & =\frac{1}{3}{\text{tan}}^{3}x-\text{tan}\ x+x+C. & & \text{Evaluate}\int 1dx.\end{array}\]

Afslør svaret

Since the power on \(\text{sin}\ x\) is even \((k=4)\) and the power on \(\text{cos}\ x\) is even \((j=0),\) we must use strategy 3. Thus,

Integrate \(\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx.\)

Afslør svaret

This integral requires integration by parts. To begin, let \(u=\text{sec}\ x\) and \(dv={\text{sec}}^{2}x\text{dx}.\) These choices make \(du=\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x\) and \(v=\text{tan}\ x.\) Thus,
\[\begin{array}{llll}\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx & =\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x-\int \text{tan}\ x\ \text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x\ dx & & \\ & =\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x-\int {\text{tan}}^{2}x\ \text{sec}\ x\ dx & & \text{Simplify}. \\ & =\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x-\int ({\text{sec}}^{2}x-1)\text{sec}\ x\ dx & & \text{Substitute}\ {\text{tan}}^{2}x={\text{sec}}^{2}x-1. \\ & =\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\int \text{sec}\ x\ dx-\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx & & \text{Rewrite}. \\ & =\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x+\text{tan}\ x|-\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx. & & \text{Evaluate}\int \text{sec}\ x\ dx.\end{array}\]
We now have
\[\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx=\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x+\text{tan}\ x|-\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx.\]
Since the integral \(\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx\) has reappeared on the right-hand side, we can solve for \(\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx\) by adding it to both sides. In doing so, we obtain
\[2\int {\text{sec}}^{3}x\ dx=\text{sec}\ x\ \text{tan}\ x+\text{ln}|\text{sec}\ x+\text{tan}\ x|.\]
Dividing by 2, we arrive at

Spørgsmål folk spørger

What is a derivative in one sentence?

The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.

What is an integral in one sentence?

The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.

Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?

That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.

When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?

Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
