Show that ∫π/20sin3xcos2xcos7x dx=160
I could solve this integral by making use of the special expansion cos7x=64cos7x−112cos5x+56cos3x−7cosx and then using cosx=t. But I would like to know if there is a simpler way to solve this integral.
Answer
Use ∫a0f(x)dx=∫a0f(a−x)dx. (1) Then I=∫π/20sin3xcos2xcos7x dx. (2) becomesI=∫π/20cos3xsin2x(−sin7x) dx. (3) By adding (2) and (3), we get
2I=−∫π/20sin2xcos2xsin6x dx=14(∫π/20(cos4x−1)sin6x dx). ⇒I=18(∫π/20sin6xcos4x−sin6x dx)=(∫π/20sin10x+sin2x16−sin6x8)dx. ⇒I=1160+132−148=160.
