Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is: \(=\frac{-cos(2x+1)}{2}+\frac{cos^3(2x+1)}{6}+C\)
Let \(I = ∫sin^3(2x+1)\)
\(⇒ ∫sin^3(2x+1)dx = ∫sin^2(2x+1).sin(2x+1)dx\)
\(= ∫(1-cos^2(2x+1)sin(2x+1)dx\)
Let \(cos(2x+1)=t\)
\(⇒ -2sin(2x+1)dx = dt\)
\(⇒ sin(2x+1)dx = \frac{-dt}{2}\)
\(⇒ I = \frac{-1}{2} ∫(1-t^2)dt\)
\(=-\frac{1}{2}[t-\frac{t^3}{3}]\)
\(=\frac{-1}{2}{cos(2x+1)-\frac{cos^3(2x+1)}{3}}\)
\(=\frac{-cos(2x+1)}{2}+\frac{cos^3(2x+1)}{6}+C\)

Methods of Integration

Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:

Integration by Parts:

 If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:

∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C

Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.

Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:

The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:

∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx

where

f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and

g(x) = q(x).s(x)

Integration by Substitution Method

Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:

∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du

Integration by Decomposition

Reverse Chain Rule

This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,

∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
