#\intcos(x)sin(x)dx=\frac{-1}{4}cos(2x)+c#

Explanation:

Given equation is #\intcos(x)sin(x)dx#

I believe you're familiar with the trigonometric identity #sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)#
So, the equation becomes #\frac{1}{2}\intsin(2x)dx#

I'm sure you know what to do from here to get the equation I got there above.

There are 3 equivalent results:
#(sin^2x)/2+C#
#-(cos^2x)/2+C#
#-(cos(2x))/4+C#
