Let I n,m = Then we can relate I n,m with each of the following

(I) I n – 2,m (II) I n+2,m (III) I n, m–2

(IV) I n,m+2 (V) I n–2,m+2 (VI) I n+2,m–2

Suppose we want to establish a relation between I n,m and I n,m – 2 , then we set

P(x) = sin n+1 x cos m–1 x …..(1)

In I n,m and I n,m–2 the exponent of cosx is m and m – 2 respectively, the minimum of the two is m – 2, adding 1 to the minimum we get m – 2 + 1 = m – 1. Now choose the exponent m – 1 of cosx in P(X). Similarly choose the exponent of sin x for P(x).

Now differentiating both sides of (1), we get

P'(x) = (n + 1) sin n xcos m x –(m–1)sin n+2 xcos m–2 x

= (n + 1) sin n x cos m x – (m – 1) sin n x (1 – cos 2 x) cos m–2 x

= (n + 1) sin n x cos m x – (m – 1) sin n x cos m–2 x + (m – 1) sin n xcos m x

= (n + m) sin n x cos m x – (m – 1) sin n x cos m–2 x

Now integrating both sides, we get

sin n + 1 x cos m–1 x = (n + m) I n,m – (m – 1) I n,m–2

Similarly we can establish the other relations.

CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Ans.

(i)

Sol. Let P = sin 3 x cos 3 x

= 3 sin 2 x cos 4 x – 3 sin 4 x cos 2 x

= 3 sin 2 x (1 – sin 2 x) cos 2 x – 3cos 2 x sin 4 x

= 3sin 2 x cos 2 x – 6sin 4 x cos 2 x

∴ P = 3I 2,2 – 6I 4,2

∴ I 4,2 = (– P + 3I 2,2 )

(ii)

Sol. Let P = sins 5 x cos 3 x

= 5 sin 4 x cos 4 x – 3sin 6 x cos 2 x

= 5 sin 4 x (1 – sin 2 x) cos 2 x – 3 sin 6 x cos 2 x

= 5 sin 4 x cos 2 x – 8 sin 6 x cos 2 x

∴ P = 5I 4,2 – 8I 6,2

∴ I 4,2 = (P + 8I 6, 2 )

(iii)

Sol. Let P = sin 5 xcos 3 x

= 5 sin 4 xcos 4 x – 3 sin 6 x cos 2 x

= 5 sin 4 x cos 4 x – 3 sin 4 x(1 – cos 2 x) cos 2 x

= 8 sin 4 x cos 4 x – 3sin 4 x cos 2 x

∴ P = 8I 4,4 – 3I 4,2

∴ I 4,2 = (– P + 8I 4,4 )
