Integral of (sin (x))^1/2)(cos^3(x)) dx

Then du = 1/x dx. The integral then becomes \int {\sqrt{sin(u)}} du. From here, use the identity that sin(x) = sin(u) and rewrite the integral as \int {\sqrt{sin(x)}} dx. Then use the same method as the previous problem to solve for the integral.

Not really sure where to begin on this integral. Hope this reads alright on here.

[tex] \int {\sqrt{sin(x)}} cos(x)^3 dx [/tex]

Convert this into

[tex] \int {\sqrt{sin(x)}}cos^2(x)cos(x) [/tex].

From your identities in trignometry

[tex] cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x) [/tex].

This will leave you with all sine terms and one cosine term once you rewrite cosine squared. Do you see what to do from here?

Use a substitution letting u = ln x.
