integral(0to5sin(pi/12))x^3/sqrt(25-x^2)dx by trig sub

To evaluate the integral 

\[
I = \int_0^{5\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)} \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{25 - x^2}} \, dx
\]

using a trigonometric substitution, let's proceed step by step.

### Step 1: Trigonometric substitution
Since we have a square root of the form \(\sqrt{25 - x^2}\), a standard trigonometric substitution is:

\[
x = 5 \sin\theta \quad \text{which gives} \quad dx = 5 \cos\theta \, d\theta
\]

Also, note that:

\[
\sqrt{25 - x^2} = \sqrt{25(1 - \sin^2\theta)} = 5 \cos\theta
\]

Now, we need to adjust the limits of integration. The original limits are \(x = 0\) and \(x = 5\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\).

- When \(x = 0\), \(\sin\theta = 0 \Rightarrow \theta = 0\)
- When \(x = 5\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\), \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{12}\)

Thus, the integral becomes:

\[
I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \frac{(5\sin\theta)^3}{5\cos\theta} \cdot 5\cos\theta \, d\theta
\]

### Step 2: Simplify the expression
Simplifying the integrand:

\[
I = 5^4 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin^3\theta \, d\theta
\]

So we now need to compute the integral:

\[
I = 625 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin^3\theta \, d\theta
\]

### Step 3: Reduce \(\sin^3\theta\)
We can reduce \(\sin^3\theta\) using the identity:

\[
\sin^3\theta = \sin\theta \cdot (1 - \cos^2\theta)
\]

Expanding this:

\[
\sin^3\theta = \sin\theta - \sin\theta \cos^2\theta
\]

Thus, the integral becomes:

\[
I = 625 \left( \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin\theta \, d\theta - \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin\theta \cos^2\theta \, d\theta \right)
\]

### Step 4: Compute the integrals
1. **First integral:**

\[
\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin\theta \, d\theta = -\cos\theta \Big|_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} = 1 - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)
\]

Using \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}\), we get:

\[
1 - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right) = 1 - \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{4 - (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})}{4}
\]

2. **Second integral:**

To compute \(\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12}} \sin\theta \cos^2\theta \, d\theta\), we can use the identity \(\cos^2\theta = 1 - \sin^2\theta\) and then solve.
