∴ I = –16cos

Thus, we get

Sum = π[4 + 8 + 12 + ... + 96] =

44) (Using I.B.P.)

;
∴ α = 0 and and α = 0
⇒ π2 + 4β + α = 8

45) We have,

Hence I1 + I2 + I3 + I4 =

Hence

46)

putting

Now, {∵ {x} + {–x} = 1 when x ∉ I}

47)
∴

48) We have
Clearly, f(x) is periodic with period = 1

Now,

As,

and

(As value of every definite integral is )

so,
