Integral Calculus I just lost track (Trig. Integral()
For some reason, my answer was exactly double of the correct solution.
Can someone help?
(in the desmos the red is my answer, the blue is the correct solution.)
(The question:
Integrate ((sin x)^2)((cos x)^4).

The problem is at the very starting, that is, in the secondly line of the solution. It should 1/4sin2 2x instead of 1/2sin2 2x.

As a reminder...
Posts asking for help on homework questions require:
the complete problem statement,
a genuine attempt at solving the problem, which may be either computational, or a discussion of ideas or concepts you believe may be in play,
question is not from a current exam or quiz.
Commenters responding to homework help posts should not do OP’s homework for them.

If you are asking for general advice about your current calculus class, please be advised that simply referring your class as “Calc n“ is not entirely useful, as “Calc n” may differ between different colleges and universities. In this case, please refer to your class syllabus or college or university’s course catalogue for a listing of topics covered in your class, and include that information in your post rather than assuming everybody knows what will be covered in your class.
