Integrate question
Example:
integrate(cos(2*x)^3*sin(2*x)^5,x); Returns: -1/16*cos(2*x)^8+1/6*cos(2*x)^6-1/8*cos(2*x)^4; attempting to simplify to match CAS programs: 1. trigsin(-1/16*cos(2*x)^8+1/6*cos(2*x)^6-1/8*cos(2*x)^4); 2. ratnormal((-1)/16*sin(2*x)^8+1/12*sin(2*x)^6-1/48); 1/48*(-3*sin(2*x)^8+4*sin(2*x)^6-1) By hand, I get: -(3*sin(2*x)^8-4*sin(2*x)^6)/48 + constant Both the prime CAS and xcas return the same result, wxMaxima agrees with my hand result. Where does CAS/xcas get the -1/48 value for the constant term? |
