Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$
✓
Answer
Let $\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^3\text{x}\text{ dx}$ Then,
$\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x }\sin^2\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x}(1-\cos^2\text{x})\text{dx}$
Let $\text{u}=\cos\text{x},\text{ du}=-\sin\text{x dx}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int-(1-\text{u}^2)\text{du}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\text{u}^3}{3}-\text{u}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\cos^3\text{x}}{3}-\cos\text{x}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=0-\frac{1}{3}+1$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x }\sin^2\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\text{x}(1-\cos^2\text{x})\text{dx}$
Let $\text{u}=\cos\text{x},\text{ du}=-\sin\text{x dx}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int-(1-\text{u}^2)\text{du}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\text{u}^3}{3}-\text{u}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\frac{\cos^3\text{x}}{3}-\cos\text{x}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=0-\frac{1}{3}+1$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{2}{3}$

There are two factories located one at place P and the other at place Q. From these locations, a certain commodity is to be delivered to each of the three depots situated at A, B and C. The weekly requirements of the depots are respectively 5, 5 and 4 units of the commodity while the production capacity of the factories at P and Q are respectively 8 and 6 units. The cost of transportation per unit is given below:
