Thank you!skeeter said:$\cos^3(2x) = [1-\sin^2(2x)]\cos(2x)$
use the substitution $u = \sin(2x) \implies du = 2\cos(2x) \, dx$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2} \int_0^1 1-u^2 \, du$
you can finish up from here
The key to solving this integral quickly is to use a combination of algebraic manipulation, substitution, and integration by parts. It is important to carefully identify and simplify any complex terms before attempting to integrate.
One common mistake is to rush through the problem without fully understanding the given function or limits of integration. It is also important to double check all calculations and to avoid skipping steps in the solving process.
Yes, there are a few shortcuts that can be used to solve integrals quickly. These include using trigonometric identities, recognizing patterns in the given function, and using the properties of definite integrals.
Practice is key when it comes to improving speed and accuracy in solving integrals. It is also helpful to review and memorize common integration formulas and techniques, and to stay organized and focused during the solving process.
Yes, there are many online resources and tools available, such as integral calculators and step-by-step guides, that can help with solving integrals efficiently. However, it is important to use these resources as a supplement to understanding the concepts and techniques behind solving integrals.
