TopicComplex numbers 2
TypeIntegration using De Moivre identities
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This is a substantial Further Maths question requiring multiple sophisticated techniques: binomial expansion with complex expressions, De Moivre's theorem manipulation, trigonometric identity derivation, and a non-standard substitution for integration. While the individual steps follow established methods, the multi-stage nature and the need to connect complex numbers to trigonometric integration makes this significantly harder than typical A-level questions, though it remains a structured exam problem with clear guidance.

7 Expand $\left( z + \frac { 1 } { z } \right) ^ { 4 } \left( z - \frac { 1 } { z } \right) ^ { 2 }$ and, by substituting $z = \cos \theta + \mathrm { i } \sin \theta$, find integers $p , q , r , s$ such that

$$64 \sin ^ { 2 } \theta \cos ^ { 4 } \theta = p + q \cos 2 \theta + r \cos 4 \theta + s \cos 6 \theta$$

Using the substitution $x = 2 \cos \theta$, show that

$$\int _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } x ^ { 4 } \sqrt { } \left( 4 - x ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { d } x = \frac { 4 } { 3 } \pi + \sqrt { } 3$$
