Homework Statement
[tex]\int 17sin^3(\theta)cos^5(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\int 17sin^3(\theta)cos^5(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
Pulling out constant, breaking up the sin^3.
[tex]17 \int sin^2(\theta)cos^5(\theta)sin(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
Using the trig identity to replace the sin^2
[tex]17 \int (1-cos^2(\theta))cos^5(\theta)sin(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
Using u-subs to get rid of the other sin.
[tex]u = cos(\theta), du = sin(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
[tex]17 \int (1-u^2)u^5 du[/tex]
[tex]17 \int u^5-u^7 du[/tex]
[tex]17[\frac{u^6}{6}-\frac{u^8}{8}][/tex]
Subbing back in for u.
[tex]17[\frac{cos^6\theta}{6}-\frac{cos^8\theta}{8}][/tex]
Homework software says incorrect. Any hints would be great!
