Answer

$$ \frac{-1}{499}\cos^{499}y+\frac{1}{501}\cos^{501}+c$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{align*} \int \cos ^{498} y \sin ^{3} y d y&=\int \cos ^{498} y \sin ^{2} y\sin y d y\\ &=\int \cos^{498}y(1-\cos^2 y)\sin ydy\\ &= \int (\cos^{498}y-\cos^{500} y)\sin ydy\\ &=\frac{-1}{499}\cos^{499}y+\frac{1}{501}\cos^{501}+c \end{align*}
