Question

If ∫sin³x dx = Acos³x+Bcosx+c, then A-B = ?
Options
A 1/3
B 4/3
Correct Answer
C -4/3
D -2/3
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

∫sin³x dx = -cosx + (1/3)cos³x + c, so A=1/3, B=-1. Then A-B = 1/3-(-1) = 4/3.

Hint

Split sin³x = sinx(1-cos²x), integrate directly, and identify A and B by matching terms.
