Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Let I=0π/2f(cos2x)cosxdx

I=0π/2fcos2π2xcosπ2xdx  using 0af(x)dx=0af(ax)dx I=0π/2f(cos2x)sinxdx

On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

2I=0π/2f(cos2x)(sinx+cosx)dx =20π/2f(cos2x)[cos(xπ/4)]dx

Put x+π4=tdx=dt 2I=2π/4π/4fcosπ22tcostdt

2I=2π/4π/4f(sin2t)costdt

I=20π/4f(sin2t)costdt
