    The value of \[\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{(1-{{x}^{2}})}\sin x{{\cos }^{2}}x\,\,\,dx\]is

    A) \[0\]                                     

    B) \[\pi -\frac{{{\pi }^{3}}}{3}\]

    C) \[2\pi -{{\pi }^{3}}\]                       

    D) \[\frac{7}{2}-2{{\pi }^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If\[f(-x)=-f(x)\], then                 \[\int_{-a}^{a}{f(x)}\,dx=0\] Let          \[I=\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{(1-{{x}^{2}})}\sin x{{\cos }^{2}}x\,\,dx\] Let          \[f(x)={{(1-x)}^{2}})(\sin (-x)){{\cos }^{2}}(-x)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[=-(1-{{x}^{2}})\sin x{{\cos }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(-x)=-f(x)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f(x)\]is an odd function \[\therefore \]  \[\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{(1-{{x}^{2}})}\sin x{{\cos }^{2}}x\,\,dx=0\]
