Solution:

  1. Given integral

$$ \begin{aligned} I= & \int _0^{2 \pi}[\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x \\ & =\int _0^{\pi}[\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x \\ & \quad \quad \quad \quad+\int _{\pi}^{2 \pi}[\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x \\ & =I _1+I _2 \text { (let) } \end{aligned} $$

Now, $\quad I _2=\int _{\pi}^{2 \pi}[\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x$

let $2 \pi-x=t$, upper limit $t=0$ and lower limit $t=\pi$

and $\quad d x=-d t$

So, $\quad I _2=-\int _{\pi}^{0}[-\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x$

$=\int _0^{\pi}[-\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x$

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad I & =\int _0^{\pi}[\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x \ & +\int _0^{\pi}[-\sin 2 x \cdot(1+\cos 3 x)] d x\end{aligned}$

[from Eqs. (i) and (ii)]

$\left.=\int _0^{\pi}(-1) d x\right][\because[x]+[-x]=-1, x \notin$ Integer $]$

$=-\pi$
