Formula is:
\int {sin^(n) x} \, dx =- (1)/(n)sin^(n-1)x cos x + (n-1)/(n) \int {sin^(n-2) x} \, dx
We will use it here:
\int {sin^(6) x} \, dx =- (1)/(6) sin^(5)xcosx+ (5)/(6) \int{sin^(4)x } \, dx
And again:
\int {sin^(4) x} \, dx =- (1)/(2) sin^(3) xcosx+ (3)/(4) \int{sin^(2)x } \, dx
Finally:
\int {sin^(2)x } \, dx=- (1)/(2)sinx cos x+ (1)/(2)
The result:
=- (1)/(6) sin^(5) xcosx- (5)/(24)sin^(3)xcosx- (15)/(48)sinxcosx+ (15)/(48)+C
Thank you.
