Find the antiderivative of the function f(x)=x*sin^3x.

To determine the antiderivative of the given function,
we'll have to integrate the given function by parts, using the
formula:


Int f*g'  = f*g - Int
f'*g


We'll put f = x => f' =
1


We'll put g' = (sinx)^3 and we'll have to integrate
(sinx)^3 to find the function g.


We'll write the function
as a product:


(sinx)^3 = (sinx)^2*sin
x


We'll integrate both
sides:


Int (sinx)^3dx = Int [(sinx)^2*sin
x]dx


We'll write (sinx)^2  = 1 -
(cosx)^2


Int [(sinx)^2*sin x]dx = Int [(1 - (cosx)^2)*sin
x]dx


We'll remove the
brackets:


Int [(1 - (cosx)^2)*sin x]dx  = Int sin xdx - Int
(cosx)^2*sin xdx


We'll solve Int (cosx)^2*sin xdx using
substitution technique:


cos x =
t


We'll differentiate both
sides:


-sin xdx = dt


We'll
re-write the integral, changing the variable:


Int
(cosx)^2*sin xdx = Int t^2dt


Int t^2dt = t^3/3 +
C


Int (cosx)^2*sin xdx = (cos x)^3/3 +
C


Int (sinx)^3dx = Int sin xdx - Int (cosx)^2*sin
xdx


Int (sinx)^3dx = -cos x - (cos x)^3/3 +
C


So, if g' = (sinx)^3 => g = -cos x - (cos
x)^3/3


Now, we can integrate by
parts:


Int x*(sinx)^3dx = x*[-cos x - (cos x)^3/3] - Int
[ -cos x - (cos x)^3/3] dx


We'll apply the additive
property of integrals:


Int x*(sinx)^3dx = x*[-cos x - (cos
x)^3/3] + Int cos x dx + (1/3)Int (cos x)^3 dx


We'll write
the function as a product:


(cos x)^3 = (cos x)^2*cos
x


We'll integrate both
sides:


Int (cos x)^3 dx = Int (cos x)^2*cos x
dx


We'll write (cos x)^2  = 1 - (sin
x)^2


Int (cos x)^2*cos x dx = Int [(1 - (sin x)^2)*cos
x]dx


We'll remove the
brackets:


Int [(1 - (sin x)^2)*cos x]dx  = Int cos xdx -
Int (sinx)^2*cos xdx


We'll solve Int (sinx)^2*cos xdx using
substitution technique:


sin x =
t


We'll differentiate both
sides:


cos xdx = dt


We'll
re-write the integral, changing the variable:


Int
(sinx)^2*cos xdx = Int t^2dt


Int t^2dt = t^3/3 +
C


Int [(1 - (sin x)^2)*cos x]dx  = sin x - (sin x)^3/3 +
C


Int x*(sinx)^3dx = x*[-cos x - (cos
x)^3/3] +sinx + (1/3)[sin x - (sin x)^3/3] + C
