TypeIntegration using De Moivre identities
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard FP2 question following a well-established template: prove a De Moivre identity, use binomial expansion to express cos^n θ as a sum of multiple angles, then integrate. While it requires multiple steps and Further Maths content, the techniques are routine for FP2 students with no novel problem-solving required. The integration limits give exact values, which is typical. Slightly above average difficulty due to algebraic manipulation and being Further Maths material.
