Solution

Given $a=2 n, b=2 m+1$ and $m, n \in \mathrm{N}$ Let $I=\int_{-\pi}^\pi e^{\sin ^a x} \cot ^b(2 n+1) x d x$ Let $f(x)=e^{\sin ^a x} \cdot \cot ^b(2 n+1) x$ $ \Rightarrow \quad f(-x)=e^{\sin ^a(-x)} \cot ^b(2 n+1)(-x) $ Since $a$ is even number and $b$ is odd number and $\cot (-\theta)=-\cot \theta$ $ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow f(-x)=e^{\sin ^a(x)} \cdot\left[-\cot ^b(2 n+1) x\right] d x \\ & \Rightarrow f(-x)=-f(x) \end{aligned} $ Hence $ I=\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) d x=0\left\{\begin{array}{l} \because f(-x)=-f(x) \\ \int_{-a}^a f(x) d x=0 \end{array}\right. $
