Question:

a. Use a CAS to evaluateimage


where n is an arbitrary positive integer. Does your CAS find the result?


b. In succession, find the integral when n = 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Comment on the complexity of the results.


c. Now substitute x = (π/2) - u and add the new and old integrals. What is the value ofimage


This exercise illustrates how a little mathematical ingenuity solves a problem not immediately amenable to solution by a CAS.
