Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Short Answer #149

Evaluate \(\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\sin^5x\,dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 0
  1. Since sin(−x)=−sin x, sin⁵x is odd and continuous.
  2. The integral of an odd continuous function over symmetric limits is 0.
  3. Therefore the integral equals 0.
