x cos 2
x(sin xdx)
(1 cos 2 x ) cos 2 x(sin xdx )
cos 2 x sin xdx cos 4 x sin xdx
let u=cosx du=-sin xdx or -du=sin xdx
u 2 ( du ) u 4 ( du )

Case 2: When n is odd factor out cos u du and then change the
remaining cosine into sine using the identity
cos2 u 1 sin 2 u Simplify and integrate using
appropriate formulas.
Example:
x cos xdx
2 3 2 2
sin x cos xdx sin x cos
sin 2 x(1 sin 2 x ) cos xdx
= sin2 x cos x dx − sin4 x cos x dx
let u=sinx du=cosx dx
