Answer

\begin{aligned} \int \cos ^{3} x \sin x d x =-\frac{1}{4} \cos ^{4} x+C \end{aligned}

Work Step by Step

Given $$\begin{equation} \int \cos ^{3} x \sin x d x \end{equation}$$ So, we have \begin{aligned} I&= \int \cos ^{3} x \sin x d x\\ &=-\int \cos ^{3} x(-\sin x) d x\\ &=-\frac{1}{4} \cos ^{4} x+C \end{aligned}
