Question: \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi / 2 } \sin ^ { 2 } x \cos ^ { 3 } x d x =\)...

0π/2sin2xcos3xdx=\int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi / 2 } \sin ^ { 2 } x \cos ^ { 3 } x d x =

A

0

B

215\frac { 2 } { 15 }

C

415\frac { 4 } { 15 }

D

None of these

Answer

215\frac { 2 } { 15 }

Explanation

Solution

Using gamma function,

0π/2sin2xcos3xdx=Γ(32)Γ22Γ(72)=215\int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi / 2 } \sin ^ { 2 } x \cos ^ { 3 } x d x = \frac { \Gamma \left( \frac { 3 } { 2 } \right) \Gamma 2 } { 2 \Gamma \left( \frac { 7 } { 2 } \right) } = \frac { 2 } { 15 }.
