    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /8}{{{\cos }^{3}}4\theta d\theta }=\]                                        [Karnataka CET 2004]

    A)                 \[\frac{2}{3}\]   

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{3}\]   

    D)                 \[\frac{1}{6}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                Let  \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /8}{{{\cos }^{3}}4\theta \,d\theta =\int_{0}^{\pi /8}{\,{{\cos }^{2}}4\theta .\cos 4\theta \,d\theta }}\]                           \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /8}{\,(1-{{\sin }^{2}}4\theta )\cos 4\theta \,d\theta }\]                    Put \[\sin 4\theta =t\Rightarrow \cos 4\theta \,d\theta =\frac{dt}{4}\]                    When \[\theta =0\to \frac{\pi }{8},\] then \[t=0\to 1\]                                 \ \[I=\frac{1}{4}\int_{0}^{1}{(1-{{t}^{2}})dt=\frac{1}{4}}\left[ t-\frac{{{t}^{3}}}{3} \right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{1}{6}\].
