I need help. I have to integrate $\cos^{3} \cdot \ln(\sin(x))$ and I don´t know how to solve it. In our book it is that we have to solve using the substitution method. If somebody knows it, you will help me..please

0The expression is meaningless as written; is that first factor supposed to be $\cos^3 x$? – 2012-02-25

0I think you mean $\cos^3x\log(\sin x)$. Is that what you want to integrate? – 2012-02-25

0Oh, I sorry, I forgot argument of the function x, of course I thought cos^{3}x* ln(sin x). I've counted, thank you for your help. – 2012-02-25

Substitute :
$\sin x =t \Rightarrow \cos x dx =dt$ , hence :
$I=\int (1-t^2)\cdot \ln (t) \,dt$
This integral you can solve using integration by parts method .

If you mean $\cos^3 x\ln(\sin x)$, let $u=\sin x$. Then $du=\cos x dx$, and $$\begin{align*} \cos^3 x\ln(\sin x)dx&=\cos^2 x\ln(\sin x)\Big(\cos x dx\Big)\\ &=\cos^2 x\ln u \,du\\ &=(1-\sin^2 x)\ln u\,du\\ &=(1-u^2)\ln u\,du\;, \end{align*}$$
which can be integrated by parts.
