TypeIntegration using De Moivre identities
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths F2 question testing routine application of de Moivre's theorem. Part (a) is a textbook derivation, part (b) requires recognizing the connection to sin(5θ) = -1/5 and solving standard trigonometric equations, and part (c) uses the given identity to simplify an integral into elementary forms. While it requires multiple techniques and careful algebra, all steps follow established procedures without requiring novel insight or particularly sophisticated reasoning.
Spec1.08d Evaluate definite integrals: between limits4.02q De Moivre's theorem: multiple angle formulae

  1. (a) Use de Moivre's theorem to show that
$$\sin 5 \theta \equiv 16 \sin ^ { 5 } \theta - 20 \sin ^ { 3 } \theta + 5 \sin \theta$$ (b) Hence determine the five distinct solutions of the equation $$16 x ^ { 5 } - 20 x ^ { 3 } + 5 x + \frac { 1 } { 5 } = 0$$ giving your answers to 3 decimal places.
(c) Use the identity given in part (a) to show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 4 } } \left( 4 \sin ^ { 5 } \theta - 5 \sin ^ { 3 } \theta - 6 \sin \theta \right) \mathrm { d } \theta = a \sqrt { 2 } + b$$ where \(a\) and \(b\) are rational numbers to be determined.

\((\cos\theta + i\sin\theta)^5 = \cos5\theta + i\sin5\theta\)B1 Applies de Moivre correctly. Need not see full statement, but must be correctly applied
Use binomial theorem to expand \((\cos\theta + i\sin\theta)^5\): \(= \cos^5\theta + 5\cos^4\theta(i\sin\theta) + \frac{5\times4}{2!}\cos^3\theta(i\sin\theta)^2 + \frac{5\times4\times3}{3!}\cos^2\theta(i\sin\theta)^3 + \frac{5\times4\times3\times2}{4!}\cos\theta(i\sin\theta)^4 + (i\sin\theta)^5\)M1 Use binomial theorem to expand. May only show imaginary parts - ignore errors in real parts. Binomial coefficients must be evaluated
\(= \cos^5\theta + 5i\cos^4\theta\sin\theta - 10\cos^3\theta\sin^2\theta - 10i\cos^2\theta\sin^3\theta + 5\cos\theta\sin^4\theta + i\sin^5\theta\)A1 Simplify coefficients to obtain a simplified result with all imaginary terms correct
\(\sin5\theta = 5\cos^4\theta\sin\theta - 10\cos^2\theta\sin^3\theta + \sin^5\theta\)M1 Equate imaginary parts and obtain an expression for \(\sin5\theta\) in terms of powers of \(\sin\theta\). No \(\cos\theta\) now
\(= 5(1-\sin^2\theta)^2\sin\theta - 10(1-\sin^2\theta)\sin^3\theta + \sin^5\theta\)
\(= 5(1-2\sin^2\theta+\sin^4\theta)\sin\theta - 10(1-\sin^2\theta)\sin^3\theta + \sin^5\theta\)
\(\sin5\theta = 16\sin^5\theta - 20\sin^3\theta + 5\sin\theta\)A1* Correct given result from fully correct working with at least one intermediate line with \((1-\sin^2\theta)^2\) expanded. Must see both sides. A0 if equating of imaginary terms is not clearly implied

Part (c):
AnswerMarks Guidance
Answer/WorkingMark Guidance
\(\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(4\sin^5\theta - 5\sin^3\theta - 6\sin\theta)\,d\theta = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1}{4}(\sin5\theta - 5\sin\theta) - 6\sin\theta\,d\theta\)M1 Use previous work to change integrand into a function that can be integrated

\(\frac{1}{4}\left[-\frac{1}{5}\cos\frac{5\pi}{4} + 5\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - \left(-\frac{1}{5}+5\right)\right] + 6\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - 6\)
\(= \frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} - 4\frac{4}{5}\right] + \frac{6}{\sqrt{2}} - 6\)dM1 Substitute given limits, subtract and use exact numerical values for trig functions
