How do we find the integral of (cos x)^n sin x for n not equal to -1 ?

We need to find Int [ (cos x)^n sin x
dx]


First let us put u = cos x
,


we get du/dx  = -sin x


or du
= -sin x dx


Now in Int [(cos x)^n sin x
dx]


replace cos x = u and sin x dx = -
du


=> - Int [ (cos x)^n du
]


=> - Int [ u^n du
]


=> - u^(n+1) / (n+1) +
C


=> - [(cos x)^(n+1)] / (n+1) +
C


Therefore Int [ (cos x)^n sin x dx] = -
[(cos x)^(n+1)] / (n+1) + C
