What is the indefinite integral of the function cos^4x*sinx ?

To evaluate the integral of the function, we'll have to
use substitution method.


Let cos x = t
.


We'll differentiate both
sides:


-sin x dx = dt => sin x dx =
-dt


`int` (cos x)^4*sin x dx = - `int` t^4
dt


`int` - ` ` t^4 dt = - t^5/5 +
C


The indefinite integral of the function is
`int` (cos x)^4*sin x dx = -(cos x)^5/5 + C
