Answer

$$\int\cos^3\theta\sin\theta d\theta=-\frac{\cos^4\theta}{4}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int\cos^3\theta\sin\theta d\theta$$ Let $u=\cos\theta$. Then $du=-\sin\theta d\theta$, so $\sin\theta d\theta=-du$ Substitute into $A$, we have $$A=-\int u^3du$$ $$A=-\frac{u^4}{4}+C$$ $$A=-\frac{\cos^4\theta}{4}+C$$
