Answer

a) $\int \sin ^n(x) d x=-\frac{1}{n} \cos x \sin ^{n-1} x+\frac{n-1}{n} \int \sin ^{n-2} x d x$ b) $\int \sin ^3(x) d x=\frac{2}{3}, \int \sin ^5(x) d x=\frac{8}{15}$ c) $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2 n+1}(x) d x=\frac{2}{3} * \ldots \ldots * \frac{2 n-2}{2 n-1} * \frac{2 n}{2 n+1}$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{gathered} \left|\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^n x d x=-\frac{1}{n} \cos (x) \sin ^{n-1}(x)\right|_0^{\pi / 2}+\frac{n-1}{n} \int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^{n-2} x d x \\ \therefore \sin ^n \int x d x=\frac{n-1}{n} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{n-2}(x) d x \end{gathered} $$ b) $\int \sin ^3(x) d x=\frac{3-1}{3} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin (x) d x=\left.\frac{-2}{3} \cos (x)\right|_0 ^{\frac{\pi}{2}}=\frac{-2}{3}[0-1]=\frac{2}{3}$ $$ \int \sin ^5(x) d x=\frac{5-1}{5} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^3 d x=\frac{5-1}{5} * \int \sin ^3(x) d x=\frac{5-1}{5} * \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{15} $$ c) $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2 n+1}(x) d x=\frac{2 n+1-1}{n+1} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2 n-1}(x) d x=\frac{2 n}{2 n+1} * \frac{2 n-2}{2 n-1} * \sin ^{2 n-3}(x) d x$ finally we will reach to $n=3$ when $\mathrm{n}=3$ then $\gg \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{3-2}(x) d x=\frac{2}{3} * 1=\frac{2}{3}$ $$ \therefore \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2 n+1}(x) d x=\frac{2}{3} * \ldots \ldots * \frac{2 n-2}{2 n-1} * \frac{2 n}{2 n+1} $$
