Question : 219 of 271
Marks: +1, -0
∫−π/2π/2sin⁡7xdx\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\sin^7xdx
Solution:  
Let f(x)=sin⁡7x.f(x) = \sin^7x.
sin⁡x\sin x is an odd function
i.e., if h(x)=sin⁡xh(x) = \sin x ⇒h(−x)=sin⁡(−x)\Rightarrow h(-x) = \sin(-x) =−sin⁡(x)=−h(x)= -\sin(x) = -h(x)
⇒ odd power of sin xx is odd ⇒ f(x)f(x) is an odd function of xx.
⇒∫−π/2π/2sin⁡7xdx=0\Rightarrow\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\sin^7xdx=0 [ ∵ If f(x)f(x) is odd ⇒∫−aaf(x)dx=0\Rightarrow\int\limits_{-a}^{a}f(x)dx=0]
