# Show that:$\int_{ - 1}^1 {{x^{17}}{{\cos }^{4\,}}xdx = 0}$.

##### SOLUTION
Now,
$\displaystyle\int\limits_{-1}^{1}x^{17}\cos^4 x dx=0$. [ Using the property of definite integration of odd function]
Since the function $f(x)=x^{17}\cos^4 x$ is an odd function as $f(-x)=-f(x)$ for all $x$.

Q5 Passage Hard
Let us consider the integral of the following forms
$f{(x_1,\sqrt{mx^2+nx+p})}^{\tfrac{1}{2}}$
Case I If $m>0$, then put $\sqrt{mx^2+nx+C}=u\pm x\sqrt{m}$
Case II If $p>0$, then put $\sqrt{mx^2+nx+C}=u\pm \sqrt{p}$
Case III If quadratic equation $mx^2+nx+p=0$ has real roots $\alpha$ and $\beta$, then put $\sqrt{mx^2+nx+p}=(x-\alpha)u\:or\:(x-\beta)u$
