Answer

$$\frac{\sin ^{6} x}{6}-\frac{2 \sin ^{8} x}{8}+\frac{\sin ^{10} x}{10}+C $$

Work Step by Step

We integrate as follows: \begin{align*} \int \cos ^{5} x \sin ^{5} x d x&=\int \sin ^{5} x \cos ^{4} x \cos x d x\\ &=\int \sin ^{5} x\left(1-\sin ^{2} x\right)^{2} \cos x d x\\ &=\int \sin ^{5} x \cos x d x-2 \int \sin ^{7} x \cos x d x+\int \sin ^{9} x \cos x d x\\ &=\frac{\sin ^{6} x}{6}-\frac{2 \sin ^{8} x}{8}+\frac{\sin ^{10} x}{10}+C \end{align*} Where we used the fact that $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x=1$
