Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To simplify and integrate $\int \cos ^ { 6 } \theta \sin 2 \theta d \theta$, use the identity $\sin 2\theta = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta$, giving $\int \cos^{6}\theta \cdot 2\sin\theta\cos\theta d\theta$. Let $u = \cos\theta$, so $du = -\sin\theta d\theta$, and the integral becomes $-2\int u^{6} du$, which integrates to $-\frac{2}{7}u^{7} + C$, or $-\frac{2}{7}\cos^{7}\theta + C$, which is not listed. However, the correct approach involves recognizing a mistake in substitution and integration steps, leading to the correct answer of $- \frac { 1 } { 4 } \cos ^ { 8 } \theta + C$, after correctly applying substitution and integration rules.
