Integral of \( \displaystyle \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \cos{\left(3 x \right)} \)

Problem 4.255 · medium

Find \( \displaystyle \int \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \cos{\left(3 x \right)} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \cos{\left(3 x \right)}\, dx \]
    integralStarting with the given integral.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \int \frac{\sin{\left(6 x \right)}}{2}\, dx \]
    trig-identityUse the double angle identity sin(2u) = 2sin(u)cos(u) with u = 3x.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \frac{\int \sin{\left(6 x \right)}\, dx}{2} \]
    linearityFactor out the constant 1/2.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = - \frac{\cos{\left(6 x \right)}}{12} \]
    antiderivativeThe antiderivative of sin(ax) is -cos(ax)/a.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(3 x \right)}}{6} + C \)

✓ Nihil obstat Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-04 with SymPy 1.14.0.
