Practise integrating trigonometric expressions using identities and standard techniques.
Hence find the exact value of ∫−81π81π(cos4θ−sin4θ+4sin2θcos2θ)dθ.
Use part (a) and correct double angle formula to obtain expression
involving ∫sin22θ dθ or ∫cos22θ dθ∫cos4θ−sin4θ+4sin2θcos2θ dθ=∫cos2θ+sin22θ dθ
Marking guidance:
Allow BOD for 2sin22θ if sin2θ=2sinθcosθ seen.
∫cos2θdθ=21sin2θ
Seen or implied.
Use of correct double angle formula on second part of the integral to obtain a form that can be integrated directly
e.g. ∫sin22θ dθ=∫21−cos4θ dθ
Obtain 21θ−81sin4θ
Condone a mixture of x and θ.
Correct use of limits ±8π in an expression of the form
pθ+qsin2θ+rsin4θ and evaluate the trig
(2(21×21+16π−81))
Obtain 212+81π−41
