∫ sin 8 x - cos 8 x 1 - 2 sin 2 x cos 2 x d x is equal to

sin8x-cos8x1-2sin2xcos2xdx is equal to 
  1. -12sin2x+c
  2. -sin2x+c
  3. -12sinx+c
  4. 12sin2x+c

Solution

sin8x-cos8x=sin2x-cos2xsin2x+cos2xsin4x+cos4x

and sin4x+cos4x=sin2x+cos2x2-2sin2xcos2x=1-2sin2xcos2x

I=sin8x-cos8x1-2sin2xcos2xdx

=sin2x-cos2xsin4x+cos4xsin4x+cos4xdx

 =-cos2xdx 

  =-12sin2x+c, where c is the constant of integration.
