1. Evaluate the indefinite integral.

Z

sin5 (x) cos (x) dx =

(u)5 du

u6
+C
6

sin6 (x)
6

+C

Let u = sin(x) , then du = cos(x)dx

Z
xn+1
xn dx =
+C
n+1
back substitute u = sin(x)

2. Evaluate the definite integral.

(a) Method 1: Stay in variable u and change limits
Z 1
Z
1 u(1) 3
t3 (1 + t4 )3 dt =
(u) du
Let u = 1 + t4 , then du = 4t3 dt
