Consider the integral I = cos4 (5x)dx.

a) Choose the most appropriate trigonometric identity that will

allow you to calculate the integral:

• sin2 (At) = 1 − cos2 (At)

• cos2 (At) = 21 [1 + cos(2At)]

• cos2 (At) = 1 − sin2 (At)

• sin(At) cos(At) = 12 sin(2At)

• sin2 (At) cos2 (At) = 14 sin2 (2At)

• sin2 (At) = 21 [1 − cos(2At)]

b) Now compute the integral.

9 − x2 which can be solved using various methods. Show how to solve it
using a trigonometric substitution, by completing the steps below.
(a) One way to evaluate I is to use trigonometric substitution. Se-
lect the best choice from the list of options below. (a) This integral can be evaluated using a single trigonometric
substitution, which can be written in the form x = h(t), where
• ‘ x=asin(t)‘ h(t) = .
‘x = a tan(t)‘
(b) Applying the substitution in (a) and simplifying leads to

(c) Now, choose an appropriate trig identity from the list below
that will enable you to integrate the expression above. (e) [Optional] Solve the given integral by another method, and
check that the answer is equivalent to the one in part (d).
• ‘ sin2 (t) = 1 − cos2 (t)‘ Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.
‘2 sin2 (t) = 1 − cos(2t)‘

• ‘ 2cos2 (t) = 1 + cos(2t)‘

‘ tan2 (t) = sec2 (t) − 1‘

(d) Evaluating the expression gives an antiderivative of the form

I = f (t) =

(e) Finally (via another trig identity?) we obtain an antiderivative

in the form

Note: Instead of calling u and v “well-behaved functions”, this

problem could have said, “Assume u and v are functions defined
on [a, b] for which both u00 and v00 are defined and continuous at all
points of (a, b) and have finite one-sided limits at the endpoints a
and b.” This level of precision is beyond the scope of our course.
Yes, researchers care deeply about exactly how badly a function
can be allowed to misbehave before some classic formulas break
down. But for us, here, now, loose assurances like “well-behaved”
or “regular” provide a pragmatic alternative: if the next step in a
derivation requires you to calculate a derivative or assume conti-
nuity, go ahead and do so.
