Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Use the double angle identity $\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$ $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos^{3}x\sin 2xdx=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos^{3}x(2\sin x\cos x)dx$ $=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2}2\cos^{4}x\sin xdx\qquad\left[\begin{array}{ll} t=\cos x & \\ dt=-\sin xdx & \\ x=\pi/2\Rightarrow t=0 & x=0\Rightarrow t=1 \end{array}\right]$ $=-2\displaystyle \int_{1}^{0}t^{4}dt$ $=-2\left[\frac{1}{5}t^{5}\right]_{1}^{0}$ $=-2(0-\displaystyle \frac{1}{5})$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}$
