let I  = ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos^4 x sin^2 xdx by parts  I  = ∫_0 ^(π/4)  sinx cos^4 x sinx dx  =[−(1/5) cos^5 x sinx]_0 ^(π/4)   −∫_0 ^(π/4)  (−(1/5))cos^5 x cosxdx  =−(1/5)(((√2)/2))^6  +(1/5) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos^6 x dx but  ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos^6 xdx = ∫_0 ^(π/4)  (((1+cos(2x))/2))^3 dx  =(1/8) ∫_0 ^(π/4) { cos^3 (2x) +3cos^2 (2x) +3cos(2x)+1)}dx  =(1/8) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos^3 (2x)dx +(3/8) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  ((1+cos(4x))/2)dx  +(3/8) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos(2x)dx +(π/(32))  but  ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos(2x)dx=[(1/2)sin(2x)]_0 ^(π/4) =(1/2)  ∫_0 ^(π/4)   ((1+cos(4x))/2)dx =(π/8)  +(1/8)[sin(4x)]_0 ^(π/4)   =(π/8)   ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos^3 (2x)dx = ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos(2x)((1+cos(4x))/2)dx  =(1/2) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos(2x) +(1/2) ∫_0 ^(π/4)  cos(2x)cos(4x)dx  =(1/4)[sin(2x)]_0 ^(π/4)   +(1/4) ∫_0 ^(π/4) {cos(6x)+cos(2x))dx  =(1/4)  +(1/(24))[sin(6x)]_0 ^(π/4)  +(1/8)[sin(2x)]_0 ^(π/4)   =(1/4) −(1/(24)) +(1/8) =((6−1+3)/(24)) =(8/(24)) =(1/3)  so the value of I is determined.
