$$$\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}$$$ 的积分

求$$$\int \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$。

设$$$u=\cos{\left(x \right)}$$$。

则$$$du=\left(\cos{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime }dx = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$$$ (步骤见»)，并有$$$\sin{\left(x \right)} dx = - du$$$。

所以，

$${\color{red}{\int{\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(- u^{3}\right)d u}}}$$

对 $$$c=-1$$$ 和 $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u^{3}$$$ 应用常数倍法则 $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$：

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- u^{3}\right)d u}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{u^{3} d u}\right)}}$$

应用幂法则 $$$\int u^{n}\, du = \frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$，其中 $$$n=3$$$：

$$- {\color{red}{\int{u^{3} d u}}}=- {\color{red}{\frac{u^{1 + 3}}{1 + 3}}}=- {\color{red}{\left(\frac{u^{4}}{4}\right)}}$$

回忆一下 $$$u=\cos{\left(x \right)}$$$:

$$- \frac{{\color{red}{u}}^{4}}{4} = - \frac{{\color{red}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}}^{4}}{4}$$

因此，

$$\int{\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} d x} = - \frac{\cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}}{4}$$

加上积分常数：

$$\int{\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} d x} = - \frac{\cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}}{4}+C$$

$$$\int \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}\, dx = - \frac{\cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}}{4} + C$$$A
