IIT-JEE 2009 · Paper 2, Mathematics question 24

If
In=∫−ππsin⁡nx(1+πx)sin⁡x dx,n=0,1,2,…,I_n=\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\frac{\sin nx}{(1+\pi^x)\sin x}\,dx,\qquad n=0,1,2,\ldots,
then

Choose one or more options
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A, B, C

Remove the πx\pi^x. Adding the integral to itself with x→−xx\to-x (the factor sin⁡nxsin⁡x\frac{\sin nx}{\sin x} is even):
In=∫0πsin⁡nxsin⁡x dx.I_n=\int_0^\pi\frac{\sin nx}{\sin x}\,dx.

Recurrence. sin⁡(n+2)x−sin⁡nx=2cos⁡(n+1)xsin⁡x\sin(n+2)x-\sin nx=2\cos(n+1)x\sin x, so
In+2−In=2∫0πcos⁡(n+1)x dx=0.I_{n+2}-I_n=2\int_0^\pi\cos(n+1)x\,dx=0.
(A) is true.

Values. I0=0I_0=0 and I1=πI_1=\pi, so every odd index gives π and every even index 0:
∑m=110I2m+1=10π\sum_{m=1}^{10}I_{2m+1}=10\pi and ∑m=110I2m=0\sum_{m=1}^{10}I_{2m}=0. (D) fails since I0≠I1I_0\ne I_1.

(A), (B), (C)
