When integrate sin x gives -cosx. When integrate sin^2x gives cos^2x.

We'll have to use the
formula:


(sin x)^2 = [1 -
cos(x/2)]/2


We'll integrate both
sides:


Int (sin x)^2 dx = Int [1 -
cos(x/2)]dx/2


We'll use the additive property of
integral:


Int [1 - cos(x/2)]dx/2 = Int dx/2 - Int
cos(x/2)dx/2


Int dx/2 = (1/2)/Int
xdx


Int dx/2 = (x^2)/4 + C
(1)


Int cos(x/2)dx/2 = (1/2)*Int
cos(x/2)dx


(1/2)*Int cos(x/2)dx = (1/2)* sin(x/2)/(1/2) +
C


(1/2)*Int cos(x/2)dx = sin(x/2) + C
(2)


Int (sin x)^2 dx =  (1) +
(2)


Int (sin x)^2 dx = (x^2)/4 + sin(x/2) +
C


So, when integrate (sinx)^2,
the result is not (cosx)^2.

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...
