Integrate the function sin 3x*cos5x.

To calculate the indefinite integral of f(x)=sin3x*cos5x,
we'll  transform the product of trigonometric functions into a
sum.


We'll use the
formula:


sin a * cos b =
[sin(a+b)+sin(a-b)]/2


We'll substitute a by 3x and b by
5x.


sin3x*cos5x =
[sin(3x+5x)+sin(3x-5x)]/2


sin3x*cos5x = (sin 8x)/2 - (sin
2x)/2


Now, we'll calculate Int
f(x)dx.


Int sin3x*cos5x dx = Int (sin 8x)dx/2 - Int (sin
2x)dx/2


Int (sin 8x)dx = -(cos8x)/8 +
C


Int (sin2x)dx = -(cos 2x)/2 +
C


Int sin3x*cos5x dx = -(cos8x)/16 + (cos
2x)/4 + C

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
