Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^\pi_0\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^\pi_0\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x dx}$
Consider $\text{f(x)}=\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x}$
Now,
$\text{f}(2\pi-\text{x})=\sin^{100}(2\pi-\text{x})\cos^{101}(2\pi-\text{x})$
$=(-\sin\text{x})^{100}(\cos\text{x})^{101}=\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x}=\text{f}(\text{x)}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int\limits^{2\pi}_0\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x dx}=2\int\limits^{\pi}_0\sin^{100}\text{ x}\cos^{101}\text{x dx}$$\begin{bmatrix}\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\begin{cases}\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f(x)}\text{dx},&\text{if }\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})=\text{f(x)}\\0,&\text{if }\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})=\text{f(x)}\end{cases}\end{bmatrix}$
Again,
$\text{f}(\pi-\text{x})=\sin^{100}(\pi-\text{x})\cos^{101}(\pi-\text{x})$
$=(\sin\text{x})^{100}(-\cos\text{x})^{101}=-\sin^{100}\text{x}\cos^{101}\text{x}=-\text{f(x)}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=2\times0=0$ $\begin{bmatrix}\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\begin{cases}\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f(x)}\text{dx},&\text{if }\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})=\text{f(x)}\\0,&\text{if }\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})=\text{f(x)}\end{cases}\end{bmatrix}$
