1. Problem Description

The problem asks to evaluate the definite integral:
J=0π2cos(x)sin4(x)dxJ = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos(x) \sin^4(x) \, dx

2. Solution Steps

We can solve this integral using a simple substitution.
Let u=sin(x)u = \sin(x). Then dudx=cos(x)\frac{du}{dx} = \cos(x), so du=cos(x)dxdu = \cos(x) \, dx.
Now we need to change the limits of integration.
When x=0x = 0, u=sin(0)=0u = \sin(0) = 0.
When x=π2x = \frac{\pi}{2}, u=sin(π2)=1u = \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 1.
So the integral becomes:
J=01u4duJ = \int_0^1 u^4 \, du
Now we can evaluate the integral:
J=[u55]01J = \left[ \frac{u^5}{5} \right]_0^1
J=155055J = \frac{1^5}{5} - \frac{0^5}{5}
J=150J = \frac{1}{5} - 0
J=15J = \frac{1}{5}

3. Final Answer

The final answer is 15\frac{1}{5}.
