The problem can be solved in two cases

Case(1) When n n is odd

Use the rule a b f ( x ) d x = a b f ( a + b x ) d x \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx=\int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx

Here the cosine part will give negative and also it is raised i odd powers for all n n .And sine part will give positive.So, for every odd n n the value of integral will be zero.

Case(2) When n n is even

Again use the rule a b f ( x ) d x = a b f ( a + b x ) d x \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx=\int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx

Here every sine part will give a negative sign and also it is raised in odd powers and cosine part will give positive.So product is negative and value of integral will be zero for all even n n

So, total sum will be 0 0
