MCQ
$\int_0^{\pi /4} {{{\sec }^7}\theta {{\sin }^3}\theta } \,d\theta = $
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{12}}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{{12}}$
  • $\frac{5}{{12}}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{5}{{12}}$
c
(c) $\int_0^{\pi /4} {{{\sec }^7}\theta } .{\sin ^3}\theta \,d\theta $

$=\int_0^{\pi /4} {\frac{{{{\sin }^3}\theta }}{{{{\cos }^3}\theta }}.{{\sec }^4}\theta \,d\theta } $

Putting $\tan \theta = t,$ it reduces to

$\int_0^1 {{t^3}(1 + {t^2})\,dt}  =$$  \left| {\frac{{{t^4}}}{4} + \frac{{{t^6}}}{6}} \right|_0^1 = \frac{5}{{12}}$.
