Consider the following integral
∫ 0 π sin 2 0 ( x + sin ( 1 5 x ) ) d x = B A π
where A and B are relatively coprime integers. Find A + B .
Extra work: Generalize the following integral ∫ 0 π ( sin ( x + sin ( D x ) ) ) 2 n d x ∀ n ∈ N where D is always an odd positive integer.

@Mark Hennings Sir, how do you add a box around your final answer ??

In math mode, the command \boxed{…} does the trick.
Here is the generalized version you needed. There might be a mistake,please verify it once.
Wait, is that a paper you published????!!
Not a paper actually , it's just a problem I proposed few days back with the solution for a magazine.

If we define J ( m , D ) = ∫ 0 2 π cos 2 m ( x + sin ( D x ) ) d x m , D ∈ N then J ( m , D ) = R e [ ∫ 0 2 π e 2 m i ( x + sin ( D x ) ) d x ] = R e [ ∫ ∣ z ∣ = 1 z 2 m e m ( z D − z − D ) i z d z ] = 2 π R e [ R e s z = 0 z 2 m − 1 e m ( z D − z − D ) ] if m = 0 , then the Laurent series of e m ( z D − z − D ) will only contain terms of the form z D k , where k ∈ Z . Thus z 2 m − 1 e m ( z D − z − D ) will only have a term in z − 1 if 2 m is a multiple of D . Thus we can certainly ensure that J ( m , D ) = { 2 π 0 m = 0 1 ≤ m ≤ n provided that D is odd and n < D . Since sin 2 n θ ≡ 2 2 n − 1 1 j = 1 ∑ n ( − 1 ) j ( n + j 2 n ) cos 2 j θ + 2 2 n 1 ( n 2 n ) we deduce that ∫ 0 π sin 2 n ( x + sin ( D x ) ) d x = 2 1 ∫ 0 2 π sin 2 n ( x + sin ( D x ) ) d x = 2 2 n 1 j = 1 ∑ n ( − 1 ) j ( n + j 2 n ) J ( j , D ) + 2 2 n + 1 1 ( n 2 n ) J ( 0 , D ) = 2 2 n π ( n 2 n ) provided that D is odd and n < D . In the case n = 1 0 , D = 1 5 we get an integral of 2 6 2 1 4 4 4 6 1 8 9 π making the answer 3 0 8 3 3 3 .
The answer is not as straightforward when n ≥ D , since there would be other residues to consider. For example ∫ 0 π sin 2 D ( x + sin ( D x ) ) d x = 2 2 D π ( D 2 D ) − 2 2 D − 1 π J 2 ( 2 D ) for odd positive integers D . In this case J ( D , D ) is nonzero. We are using J 2 , a Bessel function of the first kind, here.
