\(\int_{-\pi / 4}^{\pi / 4} x^3 \sin ^4(x) d x=\)

\(\int_{-\pi / 4}^{\pi / 4} x^3 \sin ^4(x) d x=\)
  1. 0
  2. \(\pi\)
  3. 1
  4. \(2 \pi\)

Solution

\(I=\int_{-\pi / 4}^{\pi / 4} x^3 \cdot \sin ^4 x d x\) As, \(\int_{-a}^a f(x) d x=0\), when \(f(-x)=-f(x),\) We have, \(\begin{gathered} f(-x)=(-x)^3 \sin ^4(-x) \\ =-\left(x^3 \cdot \sin ^4 x\right)=-f(x) \\ \therefore \quad \int_{-\pi / 4}^{\pi / 4} x^3 \cdot \sin ^4 x \cdot d x=0 . \end{gathered}\)
