In an experiment testing solid rocket fuel, some fuel is burned and the waste products are collected. Throughout the experiment the sum of the masses of the unburned fuel and waste products remains constant. Let \(x\) be the mass of waste products, in kg , at time \(t\) minutes after the start of the experiment. It is known that at time \(t\) minutes, the rate of increase of the mass of waste products, in kg per minute, is \(k\) times the mass of unburned fuel remaining, where \(k\) is a positive constant. The differential equation connecting \(x\) and \(t\) may be written in the form $$\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } = k ( M - x ) , \text { where } M \text { is a constant. }$$

  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.
