Problema 8.87b

Capitolo 8, Problema 8.87b

{Use of Tech} Powers of sine and cosine It can be shown that
∫ from 0 to π/2 of sinⁿx dx = ∫ from 0 to π/2 of cosⁿx dx =
{
[1·3·5···(n-1)]/[2·4·6···n] · π/2 if n ≥ 2 is even
[2·4·6···(n-1)]/[3·5···n] if n ≥ 3 is odd
}
b. Evaluate the integrals with n = 10 and confirm the result.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Step 1: Recognize the integral formula provided in the problem. The formula states that for n ≥ 2 even, the integral of sinⁿx or cosⁿx from 0 to π/2 is given by [1·3·5···(n-1)]/[2·4·6···n] · π/2. For n ≥ 3 odd, the formula is [2·4·6···(n-1)]/[3·5···n].

Step 2: Identify the value of n in the problem. Here, n = 10, which is an even number. Therefore, we will use the formula for even n: [1·3·5···(n-1)]/[2·4·6···n] · π/2.

Step 3: Compute the numerator of the fraction [1·3·5···(n-1)]. For n = 10, the numerator is the product of all odd numbers from 1 to (n-1), which are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

Step 4: Compute the denominator of the fraction [2·4·6···n]. For n = 10, the denominator is the product of all even numbers from 2 to n, which are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.

Step 5: Multiply the fraction obtained in steps 3 and 4 by π/2 to confirm the result of the integral. This will give the final value of the integral ∫ from 0 to π/2 of sin¹⁰x dx or cos¹⁰x dx.

Definition of the Definite Integral

Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions

Sine and cosine functions exhibit periodic behavior and are closely related through the identity sin(x) = cos(π/2 - x). This relationship is essential for evaluating integrals involving powers of these functions, as it allows for the interchange of variables and simplification of calculations.
