integral problem

assume F'(t)= sin(t)cos(t) and F(0)=5. find F(b) for b=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3. Round to three decimal places.


Hint: you are given that F(0)=5. using the fundamental theorem of calculus you can find F (0.5)


I found the antiderivative and plugged in all the b values and then added them to the previous value to satisfy the integral but I'm still getting the answers incorrect.

Thank you so much! yes I was using the anti derivative to solve it, but I got -cos(t)sin(t) for my antiderivative, is there any way you could explain why its 1/2 sin^2 t?

Let u = sint, then du = cost dt. Substituting: find antiderivative of u du. The antiderivative of u is 1/2 u^2. Now replace u with sin t to get: 1/2 (sint)^2 + C.
