Question: Let m and n be positive integers. First consider the case where m n . By the product identity s i n ( x )

Let m and n be positive integers. First consider the case where mn. By the product identity sin(x)sin(y)=12[cos(x-y)-cos(xy)], the integral can be rewritten as follows.
Now, consider the case where m=n. Note that the integral can be rewritten as follows.
-sin(mx)sin(nx)dx=-sin(mx)sin(mx)dx
=-sin2(mx)dx
By the half angle formula sin2(x)=1-cos(2x)2,
-sin2(mx)dx=-12(1-(cos(2x)2))dx
=[x2]--[sin(2x)(4x)]-=
