Let
I=∫020π(sin4x+cos4x)dxUsing the algebraic identity
a2+b2=(a+b)2−2ab, the integrand can be simplified:
sin4x+cos4x=(sin2x+cos2x)2−2sin2xcos2xSince
sin2x+cos2x=1 and
2sinxcosx=sin2x:
sin4x+cos4x=1−21(2sinxcosx)2=1−21sin22xUsing the half-angle formula
sin2θ=21−cos2θ:
sin4x+cos4x=1−21(21−cos4x)=1−41+41cos4x=43+41cos4xSubstituting this back into the integral:
I=∫020π(43+41cos4x)dxI=[43x+161sin4x]020πEvaluating the limits:
I=(43(20π)+161sin(80π))−(0+0)Since
sin(80π)=0:
I=15πAnswer:
15π
