0 π cos 14 θ d θ = A + B π C \large \int_0^\pi \cos^{14} \theta \, d\theta = \dfrac{A+B\pi}C

If the equation above holds true for integers A , B A,B and C C with C C is positive and minimized, find ( A + B + C ) m o d 100 (A+B+C) \bmod{100} .

I = 0 π cos 14 θ d θ Since the integrand is symmetrical at θ = π / 2. = 2 0 π / 2 cos 14 θ d θ = 2 0 π / 2 sin 0 θ cos 14 θ d θ = B ( 1 2 , 15 2 ) = 429 π 2048 \begin{aligned} I & = \int_0^\pi \cos^{14} \theta \ d \theta & \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{Since the integrand is symmetrical at }\theta = \pi /2.} \\ & = 2 \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^{14} \theta \ d \theta \\ & = 2 \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^0 \theta \cos^{14} \theta \ d \theta \\ & = B \left( \frac 12, \frac {15}2 \right) \\ & = \frac {429 \pi}{2048} \end{aligned}

A + B + C 0 + 429 + 2048 2477 77 (mod 100) \implies A+B+C \equiv 0+429+2048 \equiv 2477 \equiv \boxed{77} \text{ (mod 100)}
