$We know that $ sin2x = 2sinxcosx$

$sin^2xcos^2x = sinxcosx \times sinxcosx$

$= \frac{1}{2}sin2x \times \frac{1}{2}sin2x$

$= \frac{1}{4}sin^2 2x$

$\therefore \int sin^2xcos^2x dx$

$= \frac{1}{4} \int sin^22xdx$

$= \frac{1}{8} \int (1 - cos4x) dx$

$And go from there$

$\frac{1}{4}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\sin2x)^2 \; dx$

$\frac{1}{8}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(1-\cos 4x)\; dx$

$\frac{1}{8}[x-\frac{1}{4}\sin 4x]$

$\frac{\pi}{12}$

Nightweaver, You forgot to double the double angle

Thanks.

Was that bear on your pen a few weeks ago?

SpiralFlex · Mar 27, 2012

Correct.

Hey SpiralFlex, the answer is pi/32 not pi/12 because pi/4 will multiply with 1/8
