In this section we look at how to integrate a variety of products of trigonometric functions. These integrals are called trigonometric integrals. They are an important part of the integration technique called trigonometric substitution, which is featured in Trigonometric Substitution. This technique allows us to convert algebraic expressions that we may not be able to integrate into expressions involving trigonometric functions, which we may be able to integrate using the techniques described in this section. In addition, these types of integrals appear frequently when we study polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems later. Let’s begin our study with products of $sin x$ and $cos x .$

Integrating Products and Powers of sinx and cosx

A key idea behind the strategy used to integrate combinations of products and powers of $sin x$ and $cos x$ involves rewriting these expressions as sums and differences of integrals of the form $\int {sin}^{j} x cos x d x$ or $\int {cos}^{j} x sin x d x .$ After rewriting these integrals, we evaluate them using u-substitution. Before describing the general process in detail, let’s take a look at the following examples.

Example 3.8

Integrating $\int {cos}^{j} x sin x d x$

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{3} x sin x d x .$

Solution

Use $u$ -substitution and let $u = cos x .$ In this case, $d u = − sin x d x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {cos}^{3} x sin x d x & = − \int u^{3} d u \\ = - \frac{1}{4} u^{4} + C \\ = - \frac{1}{4} {cos}^{4} x + C . \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.5

Evaluate $\int {sin}^{4} x cos x d x .$

Example 3.9

A Preliminary Example: Integrating $\int {cos}^{j} x {sin}^{k} x d x$ Where k is Odd

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{2} x {sin}^{3} x d x .$

Solution

To convert this integral to integrals of the form $\int {cos}^{j} x sin x d x,$ rewrite ${sin}^{3} x = {sin}^{2} x sin x$ and make the substitution ${sin}^{2} x = 1 - {cos}^{2} x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {cos}^{2} x {sin}^{3} x d x & = \int {cos}^{2} x (1 - {cos}^{2} x) sin x d x & Let u = cos x; then d u = − sin x d x . \\ = − \int u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) d u \\ = \int (u^{4} - u^{2}) d u \\ = \frac{1}{5} u^{5} - \frac{1}{3} u^{3} + C \\ = \frac{1}{5} {cos}^{5} x - \frac{1}{3} {cos}^{3} x + C . \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.6

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{3} x {sin}^{2} x d x .$

In the next example, we see the strategy that must be applied when there are only even powers of $sin x$ and $cos x .$ For integrals of this type, the identities

{sin}^{2} x = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) = \frac{1 - cos (2 x)}{2}

and

{cos}^{2} x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) = \frac{1 + cos (2 x)}{2}

are invaluable. These identities are sometimes known as power-reducing identities and they may be derived from the double-angle identity $cos (2 x) = {cos}^{2} x - {sin}^{2} x$ and the Pythagorean identity ${cos}^{2} x + {sin}^{2} x = 1 .$

Example 3.10

Integrating an Even Power of $sin x$

Evaluate $\int {sin}^{2} x d x .$

Solution

To evaluate this integral, let’s use the trigonometric identity ${sin}^{2} x = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {sin}^{2} x d x & = \int (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x)) d x \\ = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{4} sin (2 x) + C . \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.7

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{2} x d x .$

The general process for integrating products of powers of $sin x$ and $cos x$ is summarized in the following set of guidelines.

Problem-Solving Strategy

Integrating Products and Powers of sin x and cos x

To integrate $\int {cos}^{j} x {sin}^{k} x d x$ use the following strategies:

If $k$ is odd, rewrite ${sin}^{k} x = {sin}^{k - 1} x sin x$ and use the identity ${sin}^{2} x = 1 - {cos}^{2} x$ to rewrite ${sin}^{k - 1} x$ in terms of $cos x .$ Integrate using the substitution $u = cos x .$ This substitution makes $d u = − sin x d x .$
If $j$ is odd, rewrite ${cos}^{j} x = {cos}^{j - 1} x cos x$ and use the identity ${cos}^{2} x = 1 - {sin}^{2} x$ to rewrite ${cos}^{j - 1} x$ in terms of $sin x .$ Integrate using the substitution $u = sin x .$ This substitution makes $d u = cos x d x .$ (Note: If both $j$ and $k$ are odd, either strategy 1 or strategy 2 may be used.)
If both $j$ and $k$ are even, use ${sin}^{2} x = (1 / 2) - (1 / 2) cos (2 x)$ and ${cos}^{2} x = (1 / 2) + (1 / 2) cos (2 x) .$ After applying these formulas, simplify and reapply strategies 1 through 3 as appropriate.

Example 3.11

Integrating $\int {cos}^{j} x {sin}^{k} x d x$ where k is Odd

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{8} x {sin}^{5} x d x .$

Solution

Since the power on $sin x$ is odd, use strategy 1. Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {cos}^{8} x {sin}^{5} x d x & = \int {cos}^{8} x {sin}^{4} x sin x d x & Break off sin x . \\ = \int {cos}^{8} x {({sin}^{2} x)}^{2} sin x d x & Rewrite {sin}^{4} x = {({sin}^{2} x)}^{2} . \\ = \int {cos}^{8} x {(1 - {cos}^{2} x)}^{2} sin x d x & Substitute {sin}^{2} x = 1 - {cos}^{2} x . \\ = \int u^{8} {(1 - u^{2})}^{2} (− d u) & Let u = cos x and d u = − sin x d x . \\ = \int (− u^{8} + 2 u^{10} - u^{12}) d u & Expand . \\ = - \frac{1}{9} u^{9} + \frac{2}{11} u^{11} - \frac{1}{13} u^{13} + C & Evaluate the integral . \\ = - \frac{1}{9} {cos}^{9} x + \frac{2}{11} {cos}^{11} x - \frac{1}{13} {cos}^{13} x + C . & Substitute u = cos x . \end{matrix}

Example 3.12

Integrating $\int {cos}^{j} x {sin}^{k} x d x$ where k and j are Even

Evaluate $\int {sin}^{4} x d x .$

Solution

Since the power on $sin x$ is even $(k = 4)$ and the power on $cos x$ is even $(j = 0),$ we must use strategy 3. Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {sin}^{4} x d x & = \int {({sin}^{2} x)}^{2} d x & Rewrite {sin}^{4} x = {({sin}^{2} x)}^{2} . \\ = \int {(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x))}^{2} d x & Substitute {sin}^{2} x = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) . \\ = \int (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) + \frac{1}{4} {cos}^{2} (2 x)) d x & Expand {(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x))}^{2} . \\ = \int (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) + \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} cos (4 x)) d x . \end{matrix}

Since ${cos}^{2} (2 x)$ has an even power, substitute ${cos}^{2} (2 x) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} cos (4 x) :$

\begin{matrix} = \int (\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x) + \frac{1}{8} cos (4 x)) d x & Simplify . \\ = \frac{3}{8} x - \frac{1}{4} sin (2 x) + \frac{1}{32} sin (4 x) + C & Evaluate the integral . \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.8

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{3} x d x .$

Checkpoint 3.9

Evaluate $\int {cos}^{2} (3 x) d x .$

In some areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, and the computation of Fourier series, it is often necessary to integrate products that include $sin (a x),$ $sin (b x),$ $cos (a x),$ and $cos (b x) .$ These integrals are evaluated by applying trigonometric identities, as outlined in the following rule.

Rule: Integrating Products of Sines and Cosines of Different Angles

To integrate products involving $sin (a x),$ $sin (b x),$ $cos (a x),$ and $cos (b x),$ use the substitutions

sin (a x) sin (b x) = \frac{1}{2} cos ((a - b) x) - \frac{1}{2} cos ((a + b) x)

(3.3)

sin (a x) cos (b x) = \frac{1}{2} sin ((a - b) x) + \frac{1}{2} sin ((a + b) x)

(3.4)

cos (a x) cos (b x) = \frac{1}{2} cos ((a - b) x) + \frac{1}{2} cos ((a + b) x)

(3.5)

These formulas may be derived from the sum-of-angle formulas for sine and cosine.

Example 3.13

Evaluating $\int sin (a x) cos (b x) d x$

Evaluate $\int sin (5 x) cos (3 x) d x .$

Solution

Apply the identity $sin (5 x) cos (3 x) = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (8 x) .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int sin (5 x) cos (3 x) d x & = \int \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x) dx + \int \frac{1}{2} sin (8 x) dx \\ = - \frac{1}{4} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{16} cos (8 x) + C . \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.10

Evaluate $\int cos (6 x) cos (5 x) d x .$

Integrating Products and Powers of tanx and secx

Before discussing the integration of products and powers of $tan x$ and $sec x,$ it is useful to recall the integrals involving $tan x$ and $sec x$ we have already learned:

$\int {sec}^{2} x d x = tan x + C$
$\int sec x tan x d x = sec x + C$
$\int tan x d x = ln | sec x | + C$
$\int sec x d x = ln | sec x + tan x | + C .$

For most integrals of products and powers of $tan x$ and $sec x,$ we rewrite the expression we wish to integrate as the sum or difference of integrals of the form $\int {tan}^{j} x {sec}^{2} x d x$ or $\int {sec}^{j} x tan x d x .$ As we see in the following example, we can evaluate these new integrals by using u-substitution.

Example 3.14

Evaluating $\int {sec}^{j} x tan x d x$

Evaluate $\int {sec}^{5} x tan x d x .$

Solution

Start by rewriting ${sec}^{5} x tan x$ as ${sec}^{4} x sec x tan x .$

\begin{matrix} \int {sec}^{5} x tan x d x & = \int {sec}^{4} x sec x tan x d x & Let u = sec x; then, d u = sec x tan x d x . \\ = \int u^{4} d u & Evaluate the integral . \\ = \frac{1}{5} u^{5} + C & Substitute sec x = u . \\ = \frac{1}{5} {sec}^{5} x + C \end{matrix}

Checkpoint 3.11

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{5} x {sec}^{2} x d x .$

We now take a look at the various strategies for integrating products and powers of $sec x$ and $tan x .$

Problem-Solving Strategy

Integrating $\int {tan}^{k} x {sec}^{j} x d x$

To integrate $\int {tan}^{k} x {sec}^{j} x d x,$ use the following strategies:

If $j$ is even and $j \geq 2,$ rewrite ${sec}^{j} x = {sec}^{j - 2} x {sec}^{2} x$ and use ${sec}^{2} x = {tan}^{2} x + 1$ to rewrite ${sec}^{j - 2} x$ in terms of $tan x .$ Let $u = tan x$ and $d u = {sec}^{2} x dx .$
If $k$ is odd and $j \geq 1,$ rewrite ${tan}^{k} x {sec}^{j} x = {tan}^{k - 1} x {sec}^{j - 1} x sec x tan x$ and use ${tan}^{2} x = {sec}^{2} x - 1$ to rewrite ${tan}^{k - 1} x$ in terms of $sec x .$ Let $u = sec x$ and $d u = sec x tan x d x .$ (Note: If $j$ is even and $k$ is odd, then either strategy 1 or strategy 2 may be used.)
If $k$ is odd where $k \geq 3$ and $j = 0,$ rewrite ${tan}^{k} x = {tan}^{k - 2} x {tan}^{2} x = {tan}^{k - 2} x ({sec}^{2} x - 1) = {tan}^{k - 2} x {sec}^{2} x - {tan}^{k - 2} x .$ It may be necessary to repeat this process on the ${tan}^{k - 2} x$ term.
If $k$ is even and $j$ is odd, then use ${tan}^{2} x = {sec}^{2} x - 1$ to express ${tan}^{k} x$ in terms of $sec x .$ Use integration by parts to integrate odd powers of $sec x .$

Example 3.15

Integrating $\int {tan}^{k} x {sec}^{j} x d x$ when $j$ is Even

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{6} x {sec}^{4} x d x .$

Solution

Since the power on $sec x$ is even, rewrite ${sec}^{4} x = {sec}^{2} x {sec}^{2} x$ and use ${sec}^{2} x = {tan}^{2} x + 1$ to rewrite the first ${sec}^{2} x$ in terms of $tan x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {tan}^{6} x {sec}^{4} x d x & = \int {tan}^{6} x ({tan}^{2} x + 1) {sec}^{2} x d x & Let u = tan x and d u = {sec}^{2} x dx . \\ = \int u^{6} (u^{2} + 1) d u & Expand . \\ = \int (u^{8} + u^{6}) d u & Evaluate the integral . \\ = \frac{1}{9} u^{9} + \frac{1}{7} u^{7} + C & Substitute tan x = u . \\ = \frac{1}{9} {tan}^{9} x + \frac{1}{7} {tan}^{7} x + C . \end{matrix}

Example 3.16

Integrating $\int {tan}^{k} x {sec}^{j} x d x$ when $k$ is Odd

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{5} x {sec}^{3} x d x .$

Solution

Since the power on $tan x$ is odd, begin by rewriting ${tan}^{5} x {sec}^{3} x = {tan}^{4} x {sec}^{2} x sec x tan x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} {tan}^{5} x {sec}^{3} x & = & {tan}^{4} x {sec}^{2} x sec x tan x . & Write {tan}^{4} x = {({tan}^{2} x)}^{2} . \\ \int {tan}^{5} x {sec}^{3} x d x & = & \int {({tan}^{2} x)}^{2} {sec}^{2} x sec x tan x d x & Use {tan}^{2} x = {sec}^{2} x - 1. \\ = & \int {({sec}^{2} x - 1)}^{2} {sec}^{2} x sec x tan x d x & Let u = sec x and d u = sec x tan x d x . \\ = & \int {(u^{2} - 1)}^{2} u^{2} d u & Expand . \\ = & \int (u^{6} - 2 u^{4} + u^{2}) d u & Integrate . \\ = & \frac{1}{7} u^{7} - \frac{2}{5} u^{5} + \frac{1}{3} u^{3} + C & Substitute sec x = u . \\ = & \frac{1}{7} {sec}^{7} x - \frac{2}{5} {sec}^{5} x + \frac{1}{3} {sec}^{3} x + C . \end{matrix}

Example 3.17

Integrating $\int {tan}^{k} x d x$ where $k$ is Odd and $k \geq 3$

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{3} x d x .$

Solution

Begin by rewriting ${tan}^{3} x = tan x {tan}^{2} x = tan x ({sec}^{2} x - 1) = tan x {sec}^{2} x - tan x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {tan}^{3} x d x & = \int (tan x {sec}^{2} x - tan x) d x \\ = \int tan x {sec}^{2} x d x - \int tan x d x \\ = \frac{1}{2} {tan}^{2} x - ln | sec x | + C . \end{matrix}

For the first integral, use the substitution $u = tan x .$ For the second integral, use the formula.

Example 3.18

Integrating $\int {sec}^{3} x d x$

Integrate $\int {sec}^{3} x d x .$

Solution

This integral requires integration by parts. To begin, let $u = sec x$ and $d v = {sec}^{2} x dx .$ These choices make $d u = sec x tan x$ and $v = tan x .$ Thus,

\begin{matrix} \int {sec}^{3} x d x & = sec x tan x - \int tan x sec x tan x d x \\ = sec x tan x - \int {tan}^{2} x sec x d x & Simplify . \\ = sec x tan x - \int ({sec}^{2} x - 1) sec x d x & Substitute {tan}^{2} x = {sec}^{2} x - 1. \\ = sec x tan x + \int sec x d x - \int {sec}^{3} x d x & Rewrite . \\ = sec x tan x + ln | sec x + tan x | - \int {sec}^{3} x d x . & Evaluate \int sec x d x . \end{matrix}

We now have

\int {sec}^{3} x d x = sec x tan x + ln | sec x + tan x | - \int {sec}^{3} x d x .

Since the integral $\int {sec}^{3} x d x$ has reappeared on the right-hand side, we can solve for $\int {sec}^{3} x d x$ by adding it to both sides. In doing so, we obtain

2 \int {sec}^{3} x d x = sec x tan x + ln | sec x + tan x | .

Dividing by 2, we arrive at

\int {sec}^{3} x d x = \frac{1}{2} sec x tan x + \frac{1}{2} ln | sec x + tan x | + C .

Checkpoint 3.12

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{3} x {sec}^{7} x d x .$

Reduction Formulas

Evaluating $\int {sec}^{n} x d x$ for values of $n$ where $n$ is odd requires integration by parts. In addition, we must also know the value of $\int {sec}^{n - 2} x d x$ to evaluate $\int {sec}^{n} x d x .$ The evaluation of $\int {tan}^{n} x d x$ also requires being able to integrate $\int {tan}^{n - 2} x d x .$ To make the process easier, we can derive and apply the following power reduction formulas. These rules allow us to replace the integral of a power of $sec x$ or $tan x$ with the integral of a lower power of $sec x$ or $tan x .$

Rule: Reduction Formulas for $\int {sec}^{n} x d x$ and $\int {tan}^{n} x d x$

\int {sec}^{n} x d x = \frac{1}{n - 1} {sec}^{n - 2} x tan x + \frac{n - 2}{n - 1} \int {sec}^{n - 2} x d x

(3.6)

\int {tan}^{n} x d x = \frac{1}{n - 1} {tan}^{n - 1} x - \int {tan}^{n - 2} x d x

(3.7)

The first power reduction rule may be verified by applying integration by parts. The second may be verified by following the strategy outlined for integrating odd powers of $tan x .$

Example 3.19

Revisiting $\int {sec}^{3} x d x$

Apply a reduction formula to evaluate $\int {sec}^{3} x d x .$

Solution

By applying the first reduction formula, we obtain

\begin{matrix} \int {sec}^{3} x d x & = \frac{1}{2} sec x tan x + \frac{1}{2} \int sec x d x \\ = \frac{1}{2} sec x tan x + \frac{1}{2} ln | sec x + tan x | + C . \end{matrix}

Example 3.20

Using a Reduction Formula

Evaluate $\int {tan}^{4} x d x .$

Solution

Applying the reduction formula for $\int {tan}^{4} x d x$ we have

\begin{matrix} \int {tan}^{4} x d x & = \frac{1}{3} {tan}^{3} x - \int {tan}^{2} x d x \\ = \frac{1}{3} {tan}^{3} x - (tan x - \int {tan}^{0} x d x) & Apply the reduction formula to \int {tan}^{2} x d x . \\ = \frac{1}{3} {tan}^{3} x - tan x + \int 1 d x & Simplify . \\ = \frac{1}{3} {tan}^{3} x - tan x + x + C . & Evaluate \int 1 d x . \end{matrix}
