Given:
fx=∫cosec5x dx
=∫cosec3xIcosec2xIIdx
=cosec3x-cotx-∫-3cosec3xcotx-cotxdx
=-cosec3xcotx-∫3cosec3xcot2xdx
=-cosec3xcotx-∫3cosec3xcosec2x-1dx
=-cosec3xcotx-3∫cosec5xdx+3∫cosec3xdx
=-cosec3xcotx-3fx+3∫cosec3xdx
⇒4fx=-cosec3xcotx+3∫cosec3xdx
⇒4fx=-cosec3xcotx+3I ...i
Now,
I=∫cosec3xdx
=∫cosecxcosec2xdx
=cosecx∫cosec2xdx-∫-cosecx cotx-cotxdx
=-cosecx cotx-∫cosecx cot2xdx
=-cosecx cotx-∫cosecxcosec2x-1dx
=-cosecx cotx-∫cosec3xdx+∫cosecxdx
⇒I=-cosecx cotx-I+∫cosecx dx
⇒2I=-cosecx cotx+logcosecx-cotx+C
⇒I=12-cosecx cotx+logcosecx-cotx+C
Putting in i, we get
⇒4fx=-cosec3x cotx+32 -cosecx cotx+logcosecx-cotx+c
Putting x=π4 in above equation, we get
⇒4fπ4=-cosecπ43cotπ4+32-cosecπ4cotπ4+logcosecπ4-cotπ4+c'
⇒4fπ4=-22+32-2+log2-1+c'
⇒4fπ4=-722+32log2-1+c'
⇒4fπ4=-722+32log2-12+12+1+c'
⇒4fπ4=-722+32log12+1+c'
⇒4fπ4=-722-32log2+1+c'
⇒fπ4=-1872+3log2+1+c.
