$$$\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}$$$ 的積分

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

先提出一個餘弦，並將其餘部分以正弦表示，使用公式 $$$\cos^2\left(\alpha \right)=-\sin^2\left(\alpha \right)+1$$$，令 $$$\alpha=x$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(1 - \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \cos{\left(x \right)} d x}}}$$

令 $$$u=\sin{\left(x \right)}$$$。

則 $$$du=\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime }dx = \cos{\left(x \right)} dx$$$ (步驟見»)，並可得 $$$\cos{\left(x \right)} dx = du$$$。

該積分可改寫為

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(1 - \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \cos{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(1 - u^{2}\right)d u}}}$$

逐項積分：

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(1 - u^{2}\right)d u}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\int{1 d u} - \int{u^{2} d u}\right)}}$$

配合 $$$c=1$$$，應用常數法則 $$$\int c\, du = c u$$$：

$$- \int{u^{2} d u} + {\color{red}{\int{1 d u}}} = - \int{u^{2} d u} + {\color{red}{u}}$$

套用冪次法則 $$$\int u^{n}\, du = \frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$，以 $$$n=2$$$：

$$u - {\color{red}{\int{u^{2} d u}}}=u - {\color{red}{\frac{u^{1 + 2}}{1 + 2}}}=u - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{u^{3}}{3}\right)}}$$

回顧一下 $$$u=\sin{\left(x \right)}$$$：

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

因此，

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

加上積分常數：

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

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