To solve the integral \( \int \sin^{2}(4x) \, dx \), we can use the trigonometric identity \( \sin^2(\theta) = \frac{1 - \cos(2\theta)}{2} \). By substituting \( \theta = 4x \), the integral becomes: \[ \int \sin^{2}(4x) \, dx = \int \frac{1 - \cos(8x)}{2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \int (1 - \cos(8x)) \, dx \] Now, integrate term by term: \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int 1 \, dx - \int \cos(8x) \, dx \right) \] The first integral gives \( x \), and the second integral can be solved using the formula for the integral of cosine, which is \( \frac{\sin(kx)}{k} \): \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left( x - \frac{\sin(8x)}{8} \right) + C \] Therefore, the final result is: \[ \int \sin^2(4x) \, dx = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{\sin(8x)}{16} + C \] where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
