$\int 8 \sin^{12} (x) \cos (x) d x$

Step 1

Since $8$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $8$ out of the integral.

$8 \int \sin^{12} (x) \cos (x) d x$

Step 2

Let $u = \sin (x)$ . Then $d u = \cos (x) d x$ , so $\frac{1}{\cos (x)} d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 2.1.1

Differentiate $\sin (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$

Step 2.1.2

The derivative of $\sin (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\cos (x)$ .

$\cos (x)$

Step 2.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$8 \int u^{12} d u$

Step 3

By the Power Rule, the integral of $u^{12}$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{1}{13} u^{13}$ .

$8 (\frac{1}{13} u^{13} + C)$

Step 4.1

Rewrite $8 (\frac{1}{13} u^{13} + C)$ as $8 (\frac{1}{13}) u^{13} + C$ .

$8 (\frac{1}{13}) u^{13} + C$

Step 4.2

Combine $8$ and $\frac{1}{13}$ .

$\frac{8}{13} u^{13} + C$

Step 5

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $\sin (x)$ .

$\frac{8}{13} \sin^{13} (x) + C$
