Homework Statement
I was given this question as a part of an assignment and lost a mark because of a step.
Homework Equations
the integral of
cos^5(x) dx
after some fiddling and substitution it gets to this
(1 - u^2)^2 du
In the solutions there is a step that says
refine
= (u^2 - 1)^2
basically switching the the 1 and the u^2 around.
The Attempt at a Solution
Is this possible and if so how?
