Trigonometric Integrals
In this section, we will learn:
How to use trigonometric identities to integrate
certain combinations of trigonometric functions.
TRIGONOMETRIC INTEGRALS
We start with
powers of sine and cosine.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
Example 1
Evaluate ∫ cos3x dx
Simply substituting u = cos x isn’t helpful,
since then du = -sin x dx.
In order to integrate powers of cosine, we
would need an extra sin x factor.
Similarly, a power of sine would require
an extra cos x factor.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
Example 1
Thus, here we can separate one cosine factor
and convert the remaining cos2x factor to
an expression involving sine using the identity
sin2x + cos2x = 1:
cos3x = cos2x . cosx = (1 - sin2x) cosx
Example 1
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
We can then evaluate the integral by
substituting u = sin x.
So, du = cos x dx and
cos x dx

SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
In general, we try to write an integrand
involving powers of sine and cosine in
a form where we have only one sine factor.
The remainder of the expression can be
in terms of cosine.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
We could also try only one cosine
factor.
The remainder of the expression can be
in terms of sine.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
The identity
sin2x + cos2x = 1
enables us to convert back and forth
between even powers of sine and cosine.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
Example 2
Find ∫ sin5x cos2x dx
We could convert cos2x to 1 – sin2x.
However, we would be left with an expression
in terms of sin x with no extra cos x factor.
Example 2
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
Instead, we separate a single sine factor
and rewrite the remaining sin4x factor in
terms of cos x.
So, we have:
sin x cos x (sin x ) cos x sin x

SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
The figure shows the graphs of the integrand
sin5x cos2x in Example 2 and its indefinite
integral (with C = 0).
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
In the preceding examples, an odd power of
sine or cosine enabled us to separate a single
factor and convert the remaining even power.
If the integrand contains even powers of
both sine and cosine, this strategy fails.
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
In that case, we can take advantage
of the following half-angle identities:
sin x

(1 co s 2 x )
co s x

(1 co s 2 x )

If we write sin2x = 1 - cos2x, the integral
is no simpler to evaluate.

However, using the half-angle formula
for sin2x, we have:

Example 3
Notice that we mentally made
the substitution u = 2x when integrating
cos 2x.
Another method for evaluating this integral
was given in Exercise 43 in Section 7.1
SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
Example 4
Find ∫ sin4x dx
We could evaluate this integral using the reduction
formula for ∫ sinnx dx (Equation 7 in Section 7.1)
together with Example 3.
Example 4

However, a better method is to write and use a
half-angle formula:

half-angle formula:

SINE & COSINE INTEGRALS
To summarize, we list guidelines
to follow when evaluating integrals
of the form
∫ sinmx cosnx dx
where m ≥ 0 and n ≥ 0 are integers.
STRATEGY A
If the power of cosine is odd (n = 2k + 1),
save one cosine factor.
Use cos2x = 1 - sin2x to express the remaining
factors in terms of sine:
sin
m
x cos
2 k 1
x dx
sin
m
x (cos x ) cos x dx
sin
m
x (1 sin x ) cos x dx
Then, substitute u = sin x.

STRATEGY B
If the power of sine is odd (m = 2k + 1),
save one sine factor.
Use sin2x = 1 - cos2x to express the remaining
factors in terms of cosine:

n
(sin x ) cos x sin x dx
2

Then, substitute u = cos x.

STRATEGIES
Note that, if the powers of both sine
and cosine are odd, either (A) or (B)
can be used.
STRATEGY C
If the powers of both sine and cosine are
even, use the half-angle identities
sin x

(1 cos 2 x )

TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
We can use a similar strategy to
evaluate integrals of the form
∫ tanmx secnx dx
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
As (d/dx)tan x = sec2x, we can separate
a sec2x factor.
Then, we convert the remaining (even) power
of secant to an expression involving tangent using
the identity sec2x = 1 + tan2x.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
Alternately, as (d/dx) sec x = sec x tan x,
we can separate a sec x tan x factor
and convert the remaining (even) power
of tangent to secant.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 5
Evaluate ∫ tan6x sec4x dx
If we separate one sec2x factor, we can express
the remaining sec2x factor in terms of tangent
using the identity sec2x = 1 + tan2x.
Then, we can evaluate the integral by substituting
u = tan x so that du = sec2x dx.

We have:
tan x sec x dx tan x sec x sec x dx

TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 6
Find ∫ tan5 θ sec7θ
If we separate a sec2θ factor, as in the preceding
example, we are left with a sec5θ factor.
This isn’t easily converted to tangent.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 6
However, if we separate a sec θ tan θ factor,
we can convert the remaining power of
tangent to an expression involving only
secant.
We can use the identity tan2θ = sec2θ – 1.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 6
We can then evaluate the integral by
substituting u = sec θ, so du = sec θ tan θ dθ:
tan sec tan sec sec tan d

TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
The preceding examples demonstrate
strategies for evaluating integrals in the form
∫ tanmx secnx for two cases—which we
summarize here.
STRATEGY A
If the power of secant is even (n = 2k, k ≥ 2)
save sec2x.
Then, use tan2x = 1 + sec2x to express
the remaining factors in terms of tan x:
tan
m
x sec
2k
k 1

tan

x (sec x )
tan

x (1 tan x )
Then, substitute u = tan x.

STRATEGY B
If the power of tangent is odd (m = 2k + 1),
save sec x tan x.
Then, use tan2x = sec2x – 1 to express
the remaining factors in terms of sec x:
tan

x sec x dx
n
(tan x ) sec

Then, substitute u = sec x.

OTHER INTEGRALS
For other cases, the guidelines are not
as clear-cut.
We may need to use:
Identities
Integration by parts
A little ingenuity
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
We will need to be able to integrate tan x
by using Formula 5 from Section 5.5 :
tan x dx ln | sec x | C
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Formula 1
We will also need the indefinite integral
of secant:
sec x dx ln | sec x tan x | C
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
We could verify Formula 1
by differentiating the right side,
or as follows.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
First, we multiply numerator and denominator
by sec x + tan x:
sec x tan x
sec x dx sec x sec x tan x dx
sec x sec x tan x
2
sec x tan x
dx
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
If we substitute u = sec x + tan x,
then du = (sec x tan x + sec2x).
The integral becomes: ∫ (1/u) du = ln |u| + C
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
Thus, we have:
sec

TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 7
Find ∫ tan3x dx
Here, only tan x occurs.
So, we rewrite a tan2x factor in terms of sec2x.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 7
Hence, we use tan2x - sec2x = 1.

In the first integral, we mentally substituted u = tan x
so that du = sec2x dx.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
If an even power of tangent appears with an
odd power of secant, it is helpful to express
the integrand completely in terms of sec x.
Powers of sec x may require integration by parts,
as shown in the following example.
TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS Example 8
Find ∫ sec3x dx
Here, we integrate by parts with
u sec x
dv sec x dx
du sec x tan x dx
v tan x

solving for the required integral,
we get:

TANGENT & SECANT INTEGRALS
Integrals such as the one in the example
may seem very special.
However, they occur frequently in applications of
integration.
We will see this in Chapter 8.
COTANGENT & COSECANT INTEGRALS
Integrals of the form ∫ cotmx cscnx dx
can be found by similar methods.
We have to make use of the identity
1 + cot2x = csc2x
OTHER INTEGRALS
Finally, we can make use of
another set of trigonometric identities,
as follows.
