What is the antiderivative of y=sinx*cos2x*cos3x?

First, we'll transform the product cos2x*cos3x into a
sum:


cos2x*cos3x = [cos(2x + 3x) + cos (2x -
3x)]/2


cos2x*cos3x = [cos(5x) + cos
(-x)]/2


Since cosine function is even, we'll put cos(-x) =
cos x.


cos2x*cos3x = (cos 5x+ cos
x)/2


The function will
become:


y = sin x*cos 5x/2 + sin x*cos
x/2


We'll transfomr the product sin x*cos 5x into a
difference:


sin x*cos 5x = [sin(x+5x) +
sin(x-5x)]/2


sin x*cos 5x = [sin(6x) +
sin(-4x)]/2


Since sine function is odd, we'll put sin(-x) =
-sin x.


sin x*cos 5x = (sin 6x - sin
4x)/2


The 2nd term of y is sin x*cos x/2 = 2*sin x*cos
x/2*2 = sin 2x/4


We'll evaluate the integral of te
function:


Int ydx = Int (sin 6x - sin 4x)dx/4 + Int sin
2xdx/4


Int ydx = Int (sin 6x)dx/4 - Int(sin 4x)dx/4 + Int
sin 2xdx/4


Int ydx = -cos 6x/24 + cos 4x/16 -
cos 2x/8 + C

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
