First factor the sin's:

Then replace with :

Then multiply:


Separate into two integrals:

Since the derivative of cos is -sin we almost have cos to some power times the derivative of cos in each integral. We just need the factors of -1:

"Pulling" the unwanted -1's outside the integrals:

which simplifies to:

Now we have cos to some power times the derivative of cos. These are now simple integrals:

which is equivalent to the answer you provided.
