What is the antiderivative of sin^2(x)cos^2(x)?

Answer:

\frac{x}{8}-\frac{\sin(4x)}{32}+C

Step-by-step explanation:

[Most of the work here comes from manipulating the trig to make the term (integrand) integrable.]

Recall that we can express the squared trig functions in terms of cos(2x). That is,

\cos(2x)=2\cos^2x-1 \\ \cos(2x)=1 - 2\sin^2x.

And so inverting these,

\cos^2x=\frac{1}{2} (1+\cos2x) \\ \sin^2x=\frac{1}{2} (1-\cos2x).

Multiply them together to obtain an equivalent expression for sin^2(x)cos^2(x) in terms of cos(2x).

\sin^2x \cdot \cos^2x =\frac{1}{2} (1-\cos2x) \cdot \frac{1}{2} (1+\cos2x) = \frac{1}{4}(1-\cos^2(2x)).

Notice we have cos^2(2x) in the integrand now. We've made it worse! Let's try plugging back in to the first identity for cos^2(2x).

\cos(2x)=2\cos^2x-1 \Rightarrow \cos(4x)=2\cos^2(2x)-1 \Rightarrow \cos^2(2x) = \frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(4x))

So then,

\sin^2x \cdot \cos^2x = \frac{1}{4}(1-\cos^2(2x)) = \frac{1}{4}(1-\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(4x))) = \frac{1}{4}(1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cos(4x))=\frac{1}{8}(1-\cos(4x)).

This is now integrable (phew),

\int \sin^2x\cos^2x \ dx = \int \frac{1}{8}(1-\cos(4x)) \ dx = \frac{1}{8} \int (1-\cos(4x)) \ dx = \frac{1}{8}(x-\frac{1}{4}\sin(4x))+C.

borishaifa [10]

The given statement 5x=4y=12 and x+6y=5 is true.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The question comes from linear equations in two variables.

Here, two unknown variables represent a certain situation and their value can be obtained by solving both the given equations.

The cost of cookie is represented by the variable x and cost of doughnuts can be represented by the variable y.

The coefficient of each variable in the equation represent the quantity or the number of units of each baked good.

On comparing the given equations from the data provided in the question, the statement can be stated as true.

7^x^2=9^x <br>how do I solve this using logs
Rina8888 [55]
Apply lg on both sides.
lg7^x^2 = lg9^x
Bring the power forward.
x^2lg7 = xlg9
x^2/x = lg9/lg7
x = lg9/lg7 = 1.13
