    \[{{I}_{n}}=\int{{{\sin }^{n}}}x\,\,dx\], then\[n{{I}_{n}}-(n-1){{I}_{n-2}}\]equals

    A) \[{{\sin }^{n-1}}x\cos x\]                             

    B) \[{{\cos }^{n-1}}x\sin x\]

    C) \[-{{\sin }^{n-1}}x\cos x\]

    D)        \[-{{\cos }^{n-1}}x\sin x\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that, if \[{{I}_{n}}=\], then \[{{I}_{n}}=-\frac{{{\sin }^{n-1}}x\cos x}{n}+\frac{n-1}{n}{{I}_{n-2}}\] where\[n\]is a positive integer. \[\Rightarrow \]\[n{{I}_{n}}-(n-1){{I}_{n-2}}=-{{\sin }^{n-1}}x\cos x\]
