TopicIntegration by Parts
TypeMulti-part with preliminary simplification
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This question combines standard trigonometric identity manipulation (double angle formula) with routine integration by parts. Part (a) is straightforward algebra using cos²θ + sin²θ = 1 and cos2θ = cos²θ - sin²θ. Part (b) requires two applications of integration by parts, which is a standard C4 technique, though the θ² factor makes it slightly more involved than basic examples. The definite integral evaluation is mechanical once the technique is applied.

8. $$f ( \theta ) = 9 \cos ^ { 2 } \theta + \sin ^ { 2 } \theta$$
  1. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( \theta ) = a + b \cos 2 \theta\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers which should be found.
  2. Using your answer to part (a) and integration by parts, find the exact value of $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 2 } } \theta ^ { 2 } \mathrm { f } ( \theta ) \mathrm { d } \theta$$

\(f(\theta) = 9\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 9\cos^2\theta + 1 - \cos^2\theta\)M1
\(= 8\cos^2\theta + 1 = 8\cdot\frac{(\cos 2\theta +1)}{2} + 1\)M1
\(= 5 + 4\cos 2\theta\)A1
Or: \(f(\theta) = 9\cdot\frac{(\cos 2\theta+1)}{2} + 1\cdot\frac{(1-\cos 2\theta)}{2}\)M1 M1
