Trig sub. Integrating and finding the derivative again
$begingroup$
I am having trouble checking my work here:
I have this problem
$$sin^2{x}cos^3{x}dx$$
and through some trig sub I found the derivative. My first step was to rewrite this in the form of:
$$int sin^2{x}cos^2{x}cos{x}dx$$
$$ = int sin^2{x}(1-sin^2{x}) * cos{x}dx$$ and u subbing with $sin{x}$
and eventually I found the derivative:
$$frac{sin^3{x}}{3} - frac{sin^5{x}}{5} + c$$
but I'm having trouble finding the derivative of that to get back to the original integrand.
$$frac{d}{dx} = sin^2{x}cos{x} - sin^4{x}cos{x}$$
$$ = cosx(sin^2{x} - sin^4{x})$$
But I'm stuck how to get this back to the original integrand form.

$sin^2x-sin^4 x = sin^2 x(1-sin^2 x) = sin^2 xcos^2 x$

You're already there: $cos x(sin^2 x-sin^4 x)=cos xsin^2 x(1-sin^2 x)=cos xsin^2 xcos^2 x$.
