Question

This question will investigate methods for finding definite integrals of powers of trigonometrical functions.

Let In=π20sinnxdx,nN.

 

Let Jn=π20cosnxdx,nN.

Let Tn=π40tannxdx,nN.

Find the exact values of I0I1 and I2.

[6]
a.

Use integration by parts to show that In=n1nIn2,n2.

[5]
b.i.

Explain where the condition n2 was used in your proof.

[1]
b.ii.

Hence, find the exact values of I3 and I4.

[2]
c.

Use the substitution x=π2u to show that Jn=In.

[4]
d.

Hence, find the exact values of J5 and J6

[2]
e.

Find the exact values of T0 and T1.

[3]
