Simplify using trigonometric identity: Step 1: Simplify the integral using a trigonometric identity.We know that cos(2θ)=1−2sin2(θ). However, for this integral, we directly integrate cos(2θ) without substitution.
Integrate cosine function: Step 2: Integrate cos(2θ).The integral of cos(2θ) is 21sin(2θ) plus a constant, but the constant is not needed for definite integrals.
Evaluate integral from limits: Step 3: Evaluate the integral from 4π to π.Substitute the limits into the integrated function:21sin(2π)−21sin(2⋅4π)=21(0)−21(0)=0−0=0
