    If\[{{I}_{n}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{n}}\theta d\theta ,}\]then\[{{I}_{8}}+{{I}_{6}}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{7}\]  

    B)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{5}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{1}{6}\]

    E)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[\because \]\[{{I}_{n}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{n}}\theta \,d}\theta \] \[\therefore \]\[{{I}_{8}}+{{I}_{6}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{8}}\theta d\theta }+\int_{0}^{\pi /6}{{{\tan }^{6}}\theta }\,d\theta \]                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta {{\tan }^{6}}\theta d\theta }\]                 \[=\left[ \frac{{{\tan }^{7}}\theta }{7} \right]_{0}^{\pi /4}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{7}\]
