How to integrate powers of sinx and cosx (i) If the power of cos x is odd, save one cosine factor and use cos 2 x = 1 - sin 2 x to express the remaining factors in terms of sin x. Then substitute u = sin x. (ii) If the power of sin x is odd, save one sine factor and use sin 2 x = 1 - cos 2 x to express the remaining factors in terms of cos x. Then substitute u = cos x. (iii) If the powers of both sine and cosine are even, use the half-angle identities: sin 2 x = 0.5(1 – cos 2x) cos 2 x = 0.5(1 + cos 2x) It is sometimes helpful to use the identity: sin x cos x = 0.5 sin 2x Example: Evaluate the integral (the solution on the board)

How to integrate powers of tanx and secx (i)If the power of sec x is even, save a factor of sec 2 x and use sec 2 x = 1 + tan 2 x to express the remaining factors in terms of tan x. Then substitute u = tan x. (ii) If the power of tan x is odd, save a factor of sec x tan x and use tan 2 x = sec 2 x – 1 to express the remaining factors in terms of sec x. Then substitute u = sec x. Example: Evaluate the integral (the solution on the board)
