CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Rewrite first: sin⁡2x=1−cos⁡2x2\sin^2 x = \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2}.

  2. Then each term is standard: x2−sin⁡2x4+C\frac{x}{2} - \frac{\sin 2x}{4} + C.

  3. Check: differentiating the answer gives back the integrand.

Worth noting

A power of a trig function has no direct standard form: the identity is what makes it integrable.
