So i know you need to use the double angle formulae to integrate cos^2(x). However, I know that the derivative of cos^3(x) is -3sinxcos^2(x) so can't we say that the integral of cos^2(x) can be cos^3(x)/-3sinx or am i being silly

looks like youve tried to scale it using -3sinx

#

you can only scale using constants

#

not functions

oh right that makes sense
