A squared sine has no direct formula, but the double-angle identity converts it into a constant plus a cosine.

Step 1. Apply the half-angle identity. sin⁡25x=1−cos⁡10x2\sin^25x=\dfrac{1-\cos10x}2.

Step 2. Integrate term by term. ∫12dx=x2\displaystyle\int\dfrac12dx=\dfrac x2, ∫12cos⁡10x dx=sin⁡10x20\displaystyle\int\dfrac12\cos10x\,dx=\dfrac{\sin10x}{20}.

Step 3. Combine. ∫sin⁡25x dx=x2−sin⁡10x20+c\displaystyle\int\sin^25x\,dx=\dfrac x2-\dfrac{\sin10x}{20}+c. …
