  1. Show that $$\int _ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \cos x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \right)$$
  2. It is given that, for \(n \geqslant 0\), $$I _ { n } = \int _ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } \cos ^ { n } x \mathrm {~d} x$$ Show that, for \(n \geqslant 2\), $$4 I _ { n } = n ( n - 1 ) \int _ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } \sin ^ { 2 } x \cos ^ { n - 2 } x \mathrm {~d} x - n I _ { n }$$ and deduce the reduction formula $$\left( n ^ { 2 } + 4 \right) I _ { n } = n ( n - 1 ) I _ { n - 2 }$$
  3. Using the result in part (i) and the reduction formula in part (ii), find the \(y\)-coordinate of the centroid of the region bounded by the \(x\)-axis and the arc of the curve \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \cos x\) from \(x = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\) to \(x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\). Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
